One day there was a very poor man,he lived in California,he had been homeless for about 2 years,he found a dollar on the sidewalk, and went to go play the lotto,he won! about 1.2 million dollars. He believed it was God who did this. Makes sense!!
Except that in a few years after this happened,he died of a drug overdose, from the winning he had, he lost most of this to great big parties lavish spending, on a new home and many Servants,etc...He believed he deserved this after he was homeless,but later when we found out.
He was homeless because he stole from everyone he met,and his own family put him out! We know from the Bible that every good gift comes from above! ( james 1:17)
But it is only good,if that person who receives this blessing,does so to others as well. No one received Jesus during this,many stumbled who were believers because of the power he now had with all his money. Thinking upon this,we in turn can decide the gifts we also have.
If these gifts do indeed help another,then sure!! God is present,but if, and I do say IF!!! they do not help,then what value can one place on them? Just something for us all to consider! Love is here on this site,many wish to help here in any way they can,please look at this, rather then looking at a possible attack.
You shall know them by there fruit! We all have faults in many ways,that is why we are here,to help,and be helped,so we look at this site as being helped. If words come across you do not like,that is fine,just know that no words given here, are ever out of hate,or just to make another angry.
Not all understand the power of words,we all are on a different level in our faith,for those who are a bit stronger,then we help those who need it,even as they help our weakness.( rom 15:1-3) Blessing to you all,we stand for love,so let us all represent HIM!! who is just that!! our Jesus!! Let us all consider how words would come to us, when we send them to others. I have made mistakes as well in this! Colossians 4:6 Let your speech always be with grace,seasoned,as it were,with salt,so that you will know how to respond to each person. Let us all consider this. Blessing all!
