There is a spirit within people, the breath of the Almighty within them (Job 32:8; NLT).
I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me! (Matthew 25:40; NLT).
The Lord must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion (Isaiah 30:18; NLT).
Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends (Revelation 3:20; NLT).

Lord God,
There’s no such thing
As an outsider –
A stranger,
Or a foreigner,
Or foe –
There’s only you,
Within us all,
Without exception,
Waiting
To be welcomed
In our hearts.
