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.
James 1:27
Rescue the perishing; don't hesitate to step in and help. If you say, "Hey, that's none of my business," will that get you off the hook? Someone is watching you closely, you know. Someone not impressed with weak excuses.
Prov 24:11-12
If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.
2 Corinthians 5:13-14
God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.
Ephesians 1:5
You're our last hope. Is it not true that in you the orphan finds mercy.
Hosea 14:3
"Sometimes I would like to ask God why He allows poverty, famine and in justice in the world, when He could do something about it...but I'm afraid He might ask me the same question."

"When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of him or her. It has happened because neither you nor I wanted to give that person what he or she needed."
-Mother Teresa
"My family, adopting these children, it is not optional. It is not my good deed for the day, it is not what I am doing to 'help these poor kids out.' I adopt because God commands me to care for the orphans and widows in their distress. I adopt because to whom much has been given, much will be demanded. I adopt because whoever finds his life will lose it but whoever loses his life for HIS sake will find it."
