outlook

Mat 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. Now that's a big haul, but believe it or not, I really don't think we have a problem believing GOD can do these things through us. We know that within ourselves we can do none of these things, now I understand that there are those that believe they can, but I'm not talking about weirdos. While sitting outside, the thought starting taking hold of me, I have received such great and mighty things from the LORD; I am a debtor!!!!! unto all mankind. I have received from him, now it's my turn to give. We are held by the obligation of love to reach out to the hurting. I've seen plenty of hurting people (some in the church,in my home)if no compassion is given, none will be RECEIVED. Y.F.T

We are told that:
. to whom much is given, much shall be required.
.it is more blessed to give than to receive.

All of us are receipients of the mercy and compassion of God and His church...therefore we must in return give back mercy and compassion...and if not, then as the lepers said "We do not well..."

Just a quick thought that came to mind reading your post.

Well, you reap what you sow. We need God's Mercy and Forgiveness. We need Love and Compassion. We need help!!! I do.
