Marion, Ooh la la. Your story is so special. I call myself believer also. Some so-called Christians act so abominably towards the least of these. Jesus said except your righteousness exceed that of the scribe and pharisee; you will have no part in his kingdom.
I have a friend who never ceases to amaze me with her compassion towards the homeless and downcast -- I have seen her give them $20 bills and whatever money in her purse or buy them a meal. And yet I see some Christians want to spit on them and hate them. If they can only know that if your suddenly lost your income, they to would join the ranks of the homeless. Or if a Katrina hit your town, where would you be? Don't ever think or feel that you are too good to help someone for there but for the grace of God go I or my brother.
My friend doesn't boast about her 'ligion or lack of it. She just does the work and helps whoever she can.
In other words, pass forward all of the good that you can. Just pass if forward, for you may need someone to help you one day.
Always be willing to go out of your way to help someone, whatever good you do it comes back to you. Or as Christ once said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and everything else will be added to you."
