Bible Note: Norrie How can you discourage someone when you tell us of your victories in feeding hungry children, the homeless and 'bums' eating out of garbage cans. You brought God to these people. I assure you, children will remember being fed when they are hungry and that memory will remain with them for their lifetime. It will influence how they treat and help others. Your victory with these children will continue to reap rewards for years to come, as your good work spreads from these children to other people - and it will. You, and your husband have earned your inheritance. Mathew 25 34 "Then the King will say to those on his right, Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. 37 "Then the righteous will answer him, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you? 40 "The King will reply, I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. James 3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom Norrie, you have lived your life as Jesus taught us. And by your actions, others, who have learned the law given to us through Moses, are now learning the Truth and Grace which we received from Jesus. These are the keys to heaven which you have earned. |
