You Took Me In: 3-Day Devotional
Developing a Biblical View on Immigration
Immigration is a topic that’s been close to my heart for a long time. I come from a family of immigrants and grew up in Miami, FL, a city of immigrants. I saw up close the bravery and resiliency of this community. As an adult, I’ve heard damaging rhetoric about immigrants being shared even from Christians. I want to help Christ followers see immigrants and refugees not from a political lens, but a biblical one. It’s my hope and prayer that these words will lead to heart change, compassion, and action on behalf of our immigrant neighbors.
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 took me in; I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me; I was in prison and you visited me. - Matthew 25:35-36 CSB
