The elderly beggar made his case with intensity, his voice rising to a crescendo as he implored passersby to have mercy on him. He was unable to appreciate the grim faces of other pedestrians who were busy evading both the decrepit and expensive vehicles in this traffic chaos. Not one person looked in the blind man?s direction or offered him that lifeline.

?When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.? ? Psalm 27: 10 (KJV)

Feeling lonely in the crowd?
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
