"And also, ye yourselves will succor those that stand in need of your succor; ye will administer of your substance unto him that standeth in need; and ye will not suffer that the beggar putteth up his petition to you in vain, and turn him out to perish."
Mosiah 4:16
It is easy to get wrapped up in ourselves during the day... after all, we've got things that we legitimately need to focus on in order to fulfill our responsibilities to God, family, work, etc. As we go, though, we often encounter other people, definitely including strangers, outside our circle of attention. And some of them need our help as well. As we come across people today on our path, let's work on breaking out of our little "me" mindsets for a moment... work on noticing people around us, whoever they are, and helping them as there is need. ... Just as God helps us, even though we just ask and ask and rarely give anything back. We need his unconditional love and blessings... so let's spread it around to others as well. :)
