CH (MAJ) William Beaver This has been the set of verses that I have based my entire life on. This is what inspired me to become a medic, a nurse, a foster parent and still inspires me to work with teens that are transitioning from foster care into independent living. My husband also believes strongly in this set of verses and I believe that is what makes us truly soul mates.
Mathew 25:35-40. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
