loving people

James 1:27
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

God is very interesting.... To Him wat really matters is concern for people who are needy... to God.... loving the hurting and needy means alot to God.... when we get involve in someone's trouble or problem... this makes God happy.... Jesus told a story of an injured man who was robbed... there were 3people who walked passed him... A certain priest, a Levite and a Samaritan. Both the priest and Levite walked passed the injured man and was unwilling to help... they were too busy for the house of GOd and too busy to help hurting people... Only the good Samaritan had compassion on the hurting and helped him all the way to the hospital and took care of him... Jesus was aware that being a religious person does not mean that he is a loving person... the pharisee was also an example who did alot of religious rites but could not be bothered with the hurting...

Luke 11:42
But woe to you Pharisee! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God.

Jesus was always moved with compassion and willing to help hurting people... Lets love people always... knowing God knows and loves it...Lets allow God's heart of compassion to fill our hearts.

Matthew 25:40
And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.
