NYPD Officer's Love for Homeless Man

 http://www.ksby.com/news/nypd-officer-gives-boots-to-homeless-man/#!prettyPhoto/0/

It is indeed touching to read about how a fellow human who love another enough to buy him a pair of waterproof boots even though he did not know the homeless man.  In this material world, people do not normally do such a thing, each for his/her own.  Thank God that there are still such people in this world who would sacrifice a little to make others comfortable.  I do not know whether this NYPD Officer, Larry Deprimo is a Christian, but he is an example of a disciple that Jesus would be proud of.  Jesus commanded us to love one another as He has loved us.

John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."

 When we love love one another like He did than people know that we are His disciples.

John 13:35 "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

NYPD Officer showed his love for his neighbor by buying a waterproof boots for a homeless man although this was not required of him.  Him later told the media that he just did what he did without much thought.  He just did it because he has compassion for the homeless man.  Thank God for him.  If he is not a Christian yet, I pray he will come to know our Lord in due time. If he is already a believer may his love for others be strengthened and may God use him mightily.
