Hearing the Cry of the Poor and Needy

In this message, Pastor Ratna Maitra reflects on Proverbs 21:13, emphasizing the importance of paying attention to the needy, poor, widows, and orphans. She highlights that if we close our ears to the cries of those in distress, God will not hear our prayers when we are in need. Referencing the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, she reminds believers that life on Earth is temporary, but eternity with God depends on living righteously, walking in love, and demonstrating practical compassion today. God values active charity and justice over self-righteousness, and He rewards those who reach out to the suffering.
