Jesus was a master of noticing needs. He saw the hurting, the helpless, the people everyone else seemed to overlook—but He didn't just see them, He did something about them. The more you look around, the more you'll notice that needs are everywhere. You can find them where you live, learn, work, and play. Seeing the needs, serving the needs, and sharing God's love while we do it is more than a wee...
