Here and now I give half of my possessions to the porr, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount. This man, so rejected by others and himself, found a new acceptance of himself and with God and others. As you read accounts of Jesus working with a great variety of people, courageously talk to Jesus as you would with any human being. Tell him your needs and ask him to bring about in you the same feelings of love and acceptance that you see taking place in the people of the New Testament. All scriptures and passages are taken from the New International Version translation of the Holy Bible.
