Show Some Charity [Love]
Thanks and praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
You know some days are just harder than others. We are to expect that. We are even told that in the Bible. But everyday is still a great day with our Lord and Saviour. Knowing that He is watching over us. We will still have our share of trials and tribulations. I think God is using them to bring us closer to Him. Romans 8:38: For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39: Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We here in America are very blessed. But there are still some in America that go hungry. During this Christmas please stand up and give to some organization that is helping with this problem. Not only in America but in other countries also. I have some suggestions:
Feed The Children
The Voice of the Martyrs
Samaritan's Purse
Gospel For Asia
It does not have to be but $5 or $10 dollars. But if you are blessed and able to do more, do more. Thats all. Let us all show our charity this year. For that Charity is above all. This being the love of Jesus Christ in our hearts willing to spread that love with unfettered observance to Gods almighty power. That is what Charity is refrering to. Charity is Love.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
1: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2: And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3: And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4: Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5: Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6: Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7: Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8: Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9: For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10: But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11: When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12: For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13: And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
