Our Little Effort Contributed
So Much
“When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels
with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall
be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a
shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his
right hand, but the goats on the left. 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 hungred, 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
hungred, 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.” (Matthew 25:31-40)
Today’s Morsel: You know, I
have come to realize that more folks are saved by kindness than any other
way. I believe that the reason Jesus had so many followers was because He
was so kind to everyone. But of course, He couldn’t defy who He
was. He’s filled with lovingkindness. If we say that we are
Christians, and we do no kind deeds, who is going to believe that we are who
you say that you are? A card, a text, an email of kindness can really
minister to the hearts of others. The old saying, “People don’t care how
much you know until they know how much you care” is true. How can people
be so educated and yet with no compassion? Kindness crosses all race lines and
barriers. A heart without kindness does not understand the ‘Golden
Rule.’ We must do unto others as we would have them do unto us.
Jesus said that when we have fed the hungry, given drink to the thirsty,
visited those who are sick and in prison, and helped cloth those that are
without, we are doing it unto Him. Believe me, it is the little things
that you do for others that contribute so much for the kingdom. And it is
those little things that will touch the hearts of others for Him.
Sing: Thy lovingkindness is better than
life, Thy lovingkindness is better than life. My lips shall praise Thee,
thus will I bless Thee. I will lift up my hand unto Thy name.
Thought For Today: It the little
things that you do for others that contribute so much for the kingdom. (Parker)
