Word of God

Yesterday's passing makes it just another day closer to home... Havent been doing much today besides some cleaning up here and thr... aside from that, the birds are chirping, the wind is dancing and the trees are waving... so i guess u could say that its all good... todays post might appear to be a little religious in a way... dont mean to preach or anything but just pointing out my views on this... all readers who are easily offended by religious matters... do not bother reading this post... btw, this blog was written for a religion class...

In Matthew 25:31 to 25:40, it is written, and I quote " For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me." and also "The King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of my brethren, you did it to Me". These verses are actually quite straight forward and clear to the people. However, People do not always grasp the simplest of concepts. In this passage, God intended His people to understand that by helping others in need, you are in return serving Him as intended. This verse brings me back to goodness. Through this verse, the word of God explains the depth of goodness itself. Goodness is not done to receive worldly rewards. However, God will grant His rewards. These rewards are not granted because of the mere act of goodness but the sincerity of goodness itself. Just as Matthew 25:37 to 25:39 stated that "when have we ever done these things for God?". Only the righteous will ask this question of sincerity and pureness. They who do not look for a reward for the goodness achieved are the ones who will in return receive the greatest reward of all; the God-given reward. Ultimately, this statement applies to us all. Helping others in need for the very sincerity of goodness is the way of life; whether you're helping a family, friend, stranger or an enemy. In the eyes of God, we're all equally smart, equally loved and equally foolish. The identity of the person you're helping does not change the fact that by helping someone, you're in return helping God's people and serving Him. I believe that this statement of truth further requires us to question ourselves. How many times are we willing to forgive a brother, a friend or an enemy? How far would you go to prevent harm from a friend or foe? How many of us would actually even consider to help a stranger in need? Ultimately, how much are you willing to offer a friend or foe? The list of questions are unlimited and new questions continue to arise. One thing's for sure; when the time comes for us, humans to be judged by our God, our goodness and sincerity will not go unsaid.
