In the Bible, we find many issues close to God's heart. But three groups of people come up again and again: they are orphans (or fatherless), widows, and aliens (or strangers). God doesn't stop at caring for those close to His heart; rather He places care for the least among us at the heart of what it means to be a follower of Christ.
In James 1:27, God defines pure religion in the context of orphan care: "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." Caring for the fatherless is at the very heart of God.
