Walking one day I passed a man & woman who had been digging in a dumpster and offered them warm gloves, hats, & some fruit.
They both had bags loaded with molded bread and other tossed out items. The lady thankfully accepted the warm socks, hat, & gloves from me with a look of embarrassment. The man also thanked me, with his hands full of bags of others’ trash—his treasure, then he quickly looked down trying to hide his embarrassment. Seeing their broken spirits and wounded dignity I was reminded how the real ministry is God’s. I can feed them and lend a hand, but I can’t restore their hearts. Only God!
