God truly works in mysterious ways.
This Is Your Connection with Strangers. A simple act of kindness goes a long way...touches the lives of many in a most unexpected way.
Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?' And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you did it to me.'

We all know how important it is to talk to others about Christ.
But we shouldn't forget about the impact of how we live our lives as well.
Just think, you may never meet the person whose life you helped change.
