I am so sorry that I have not been here for so much of the time these past few weeks. I hesitate to say any more about the situation that I am going through. Only because I know that I am not the only one going through some type of pain. Please do know that God is getting me through, and I am trusting completely on him.
With that in mind, I am just going to post something quick today that will hopefully make you smile or even give you an idea from someone else that maybe you could share with in your own life.
This one came from Pinterest and reminds me that giving to others often gives back to us in due time. Please read on:
And maybe that doesn't sound like a big deal to you or me. But it meant something to both these people. Imagine what the girl felt like when she had made such a impression on that homeless man during her high school years.
God wants us to give.
But sometimes we feel that they are homeless people by choice.
And maybe some are.
But there are other reasons for those situations.
And when we feel God's leading to give to someone,
we must remember this scripture in Mathew:
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed Thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto Thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto Thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Mathew 25:40-46
We aren't to judge why people are the way they are. Or how they got to the place they get to. But we are to just love them with the love of Jesus and give to those that need help. That being said, I believe God would want us to be careful about who we give to because there is so much crime and sin in the world that would want to take advantage of those helping them. But I believe when he leads us to give, we should be prepared to do so because we never know how much we can help those that need our help.
Thanks for coming by today, Friends. God bless you that you may also bless other
