Trumpeting Gift-Giving!?!

Lend To The Almighty God!

He Always Repays His Debts!

Do Not Thy Alms In Public
For To Receive The Celebration Of Man
Because 
This Is All The Reward
That You Are Going To Get
Since There Will Be No Approval Received From 
The Holy Son Of Man!

Our Father Sees All That We Do
AND
What You Do For Him In Private
For That
He Will Publicly Reward You
So
Do Not Go Public Now
Thinking That You Can Force God's Hand
For
You Are Not Big Enough
AND
You Can't
Against His Desires Stand!

The Scribes
Pharisees
Sadducees
AND
All Such Of Their Ilk
Took Pleasure In The Public Broadcast
To Make People Believe
That God Blessed Their Labors
AND
That Is Why They Could Wear
Rich Brocades And
Dare I Say
Silks!

Take A Page
From The Book Of The Master
AND
You Will Clearly See That
Quiet
Was His Purposed Way
AND
Not The Way Of Publicity!

So ...

If We Desire To Receive God's Favor
We Must Do Things As God Says
AND
Not Loudly Demand
That God Look At
AND
"Bless!"
Our Publicity-Grabbing
Giving-Alms Hand
AND
God's Blessing
- In His Time -
Will Come Into Your
Waiting-For-God Hand!

Now ...

If You Have Been Guilty
Of Gift-Giving Sleight-Of-Hand
Be Diligent
AND
Say A Repentance Prayer
As Only A Truly Repentant Soul Can
AND
Let The Holy God Do For You
What Only
The Holy Hand Of God Can!
