I do understand sacrifice on the part of family,yet is it not the basis of Christianity that we help despite the personal sacrifice? Is it not also a stipulation to have faith.{Remember Jesus stating
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
You state that you
know such things as god are true and "real" yet why is such a situation as you face concerning such a challenge since it would be no problem to
simply ask for means to provide {remove the mountain} the unfortunate with what they need and thereby provide {it shall remove}such people with what they need.
Nothing shall be impossible to you.The verse says you
can literally,physically implement power to move a mountain,what possible impasse could food and clothing for destitute people be? Why would such a attempt by you not work at all if Christ himself says that the opposite must occur?
Forget suffering.Implement the very things you stand for as your main figure of love and worship insists is within your potential to do?
And since you know you cannot see yourself,
