If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink.By doing these things, you will pile up burning coals on his head. And the Lord will reward you.

Suppose a brother or a sister has no clothes or food.Suppose one of you says to them,“ Go. I hope everything turns out fine for you. Keep warm. Eat well.” And suppose you do nothing about what they really need. Then what good have you done?

She must be well known for the good things she does. That includes bringing up children. It includes inviting guests into her home. It includes washing the feet of the Lord’s people. It includes helping those who are in trouble. A widow should spend her time doing all kinds of good things.

Do just the opposite. Scripture says,“ If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. By doing those things, you will pile up burning coals on their heads.”( Proverbs 25:21, 22)Don’t let evil overcome you. Overcome evil by doing good.

I was hungry. And you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty. And you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger. And you invited me in.I needed clothes. And you gave them to me. I was sick. And you took care of me. I was in prison. And you came to visit me.’“ Then the people who have done what is right will answer him.‘ Lord,’ they will ask,‘ when did we see you hungry and feed you? When did we see you thirsty and give you something to drink?When did we see you as a stranger and invite you in? When did we see you needing clothes and give them to you?When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’“ The King will reply,‘ What I’m about to tell you is true. Anything you did for one of the least important of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’“ Then he will say to those on his left,‘ You are cursed! Go away from me into the fire that burns forever. It has been prepared for the devil and his angels.I was hungry. But you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty. But you gave me nothing to drink.I was a stranger. But you did not invite me in. I needed clothes. But you did not give me any. I was sick and in prison. But you did not take care of me.’“ They also will answer,‘ Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty and not help you? When did we see you as a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison and not help you?’“ He will reply,‘ What I’m about to tell you is true. Anything you didn’t do for one of the least important of these, you didn’t do for me.’

Didn’t he who made me make my servants also? Didn’t the same God form us inside our mothers?“ I haven’t said no to what poor people have wanted. I haven’t let widows lose their hope.I haven’t kept my bread to myself. I’ve shared it with children whose fathers had died.From the time I was young, I’ve helped those widows. I’ve raised those children as a father would.Suppose I’ve seen people dying because they didn’t have enough clothes. I’ve seen needy people who didn’t have enough to keep warm.And they didn’t give me their blessing when I warmed them with wool from my sheep.Suppose I’ve raised my hand against children whose fathers have died. And I did it because I knew I had power in the courts.Then let my arm fall from my shoulder. Let it be broken off at the joint.I was afraid God would destroy me. His glory terrifies me. So I’d never do things like that.

Suppose someone sees a brother or sister in need and is able to help them. And suppose that person doesn’t take pity on these needy people. Then how can the love of God be in that person?Dear children, don’t just talk about love. Put your love into action. Then it will truly be love.
