This past week I was on my way to work, and I saw a man
sitting on the corner of the road. He was holding a sign that said “Homeless
and hungry. Please help.” As I sat at the stop light, I started thinking about
how I had nothing to give him. I am only a poor college student with nothing to
offer. Then I was reminded of a granola bar I had in my back pack. So I grabbed
it, rolled down my window and gave it to the man. What I gave him was really
nothing to me. It was a simple granola bar. I may never know the impact it had
on him that day. And who knows? Maybe he just ate it and didn’t think much of
it after. But I was reminded of a beautiful truth. “Remember the worth of souls
is great in the eyes of God.” That man is a beloved son of God. Jesus Christ is
His Savior just as He is mine. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love him just
as much as they love me. I know that the value of one soul is great in the eyes
of God. No matter who we are, where we are going or where we’ve been, we can
always count on the eternal truth that God loves us.
