James 1:27 - Look after orphans and widows in their distress

NIV Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
KJV Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

This verse offers simple instructions on how we can please God by simply helping widows and orphans.

Is there a widow in your church or neighborhood who needs someone to listen? Or maybe she needs some help around the house or a ride to the store.

Is there an orphan who needs love or a home-cooked meal?

God has such a heart for the vulnerable and lonely. Pray that He will give you a heart for those in need, too.
