If you saw a person drowning in the water crying out for help, would you simply ignore and pass by the person offering nothing? Seeing a person in disparity on the streets is no different in real life. Seeing a homeless person holding up a sign for help is no different. Regardless how close the person is to death, the cry and plead for help is the same. LIFESIGN is the floatation device designed by God that saves lives. Public opinion is quick to throw stones and judge the person in dispair based on their location, their appearance, and their signs of failure. Our culture today has only grown more distant and immune to any caring conviction of love and compassion for human suffering. First impressions in the public opinion arena will decide life or death for a person left on the streets.
Homelessness and disparity on the streets has become a giant cancer that we meet almost everyday as we drive in our car or walk on the streets. God is calling you to treat this deadly cancer with vigor, attack with kindness, and terminate with a compassionate heart. LIFESIGN gives you the ability in the safety of your own surrounding to connect and meet this cancer, opening a new door for you to send a text message of hope - an antedote - to the LIFESIGN you saw, or send a final donation of any size that goes toward his or her Recovery Plan. A small effort by you will open a door for the LIFESIGN to find a new and brighter future off the streets. Just a message alone, such as “I saw you and hang in there” to the LIFESIGN will change their day and give them the hope they need. If you choose to ignore and pass by a LIFESIGN, this giant cancer will only continue to spread and grow with an unending strength that suppresses and kills human life.
The same loving God of the Bible who created the universe and our planet, placed air in our lungs, and who sent His Son to a wooden cross to die for your sins, and rose from the grave three days later, is the same God that created LIFESIGN. Why use LIFESIGN? LIFESIGN is God, and to ignore LIFESIGN is to ignore God.
God is calling upon you the next time you see a LIFESIGN.
