Kindness Doesn't Cost Anything!

I Have Never In All My Born Days
Heard Of Anything So Selfish And Unkind And Cruel
Or Known Of Anyone 
Who Could Have Been So Proud On Top Of It!

Satan!

Can You Imagine A Person Boiling 24 Eggs
Having Several Children Around Them Begging For Just One
And 
The Person Saying: "These Are Mine!"
Refusing To Share
Eating Only Two Of The Eggs
And 
Then Maliciously Throwing The Other 22 Eggs To The Pigs
Before They Would Feed The Hungry People!?!

Satan!

Old Elise Told Us That She Wickedly Did That
When She Was A Young Girl!

We Know That She Repented Of Her Pride And Her Folly
But She Had Ample Opportunity 
To Eat The Bread The Very Devil Kneaded 
Before She Died!
She Came To Know The Feel Of Unkindness
And To Experience The Taste Of Hunger!

Almighty God Doesn't Like Ugly
And Comeuppance Has A Nasty Way Of
Biting The Ugly Heart When It Least Expects It
Or Is Able To Handle It!

Repentance Does Not Negate Consequence For Sin
So We Need To Think Before We Do ... Foolishness!

We Would All Do Well To Remember That 
When We Act In Haste
We Will Always Have The Opportunity 
To Repent In A Leisurely Fashion!

Listen To This ...

He Who Sows, Reaps! 

He Who Gives, Gets! 

He Who Blesses In Jesus Christ's Holy Name 

Is 

Blessed By Jesus Christ Himself! 

Those Who Are So Selfish

Not Even Willing To Give Away 
A "Good" Cold Or A Bad Idea

And 

Choosing To Demand Payment 
For Whatever Departs Their Pocket, Purse Or Premises 

Will Inevitably Have To Buy All That They Need! 
Sells All Buys All!

Know The Right ...

There Is No Profit In Selfishness

And 

There Is No Loss Experienced 
By Those Who Freely Give Of What 
They Have Freely Received 
From The Generous Hand Of The Eternal God 

Who Is Ever Faithful, Blessing, Giving, And Good! 

In The Name Of The Only One Holy

Willingly Give

And 

By Almighty God's Preserved Word Of Promise

It Will Come Back To You ... With Profit! 
Believe The Living Word 
And 
Do Right
Because
It Is Guaranteed That You Will Be Blessed! 

Remember,
Jesus Christ Gave His All
- His Very Life's Blood -
For You, Me, Us All!
All That We Are Being Asked ... Encouraged To Do
Is
To Willingly Give Up A Lil' Bit Of What We Have
Which Will Certainly Come Back To Us Again!
The Living God Does Not Lie!

 Man Cannot

Recapture The Lost Opportunity

Recall The Unkind Word

Recast The Cruel Deed

Or

Repay The Goodness Of Almighty God

But

We Can ... By His Great Grace

Relieve A Soul's Daily Burden

By Willing Giving

Sharing

Commiserating

And

Caring!

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!
