Sometimes we find that we can help meet the needs of those who have very few possessions.  And sometimes they can be used to meet OUR needs.  Different kinds of needs, of course.  Maybe they have physical needs we can help with, but what about spiritual needs?  God wants us to put our focus on Him and trust Him and serve Him alone.  Sometimes believers who don't have much, who live one day at a time, have learned the secret of trusting God, and that's something we can learn from them!  Look at this verse in the first chapter of James:

Of course we should be helping those who don't have much with their physical needs, but maybe they can help US  to see what it looks like to keep from being "polluted by the world".
