Hello Everyone,
We are going to see this week that it is the little stuff that counts.

Matthew 25 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.

One writer said: “Whatever is done for Christ’s sake is done through Christ’s grace; and he who does the work attributes to Jesus both the will and the power by which the work was done, and seeks and expects the kingdom of heaven not as a reward, but as a gift of pure unmerited mercy”.

The return of the Lord will usher in judgment, and this judgment will divide people. Some will be on the left hand of God and some on His right hand.
The judgment will be based on moral character.

This character was displayed by acts of kindness or the lack of them.

Outward acts of kindness are a demonstration of inward righteousness or unrighteousness.

Good works do not produce good character; good character produces good works.

When ever you or I give we are doing it for Jesus.
The person we feed becomes as Jesus to us.
The person we visit becomes as Jesus to us.
The person that we clothe becomes as Jesus to us.

The way we get to know the Lord better is by doing His work.
And when we do simple acts of kindness we are doing them as much to Him as for Him.

We know Him by putting our arms around those who are desperate or alone.
He said that when we do this we are putting our arms around Him.

The focus of our faith is always on Jesus and Jesus alone.

He is God and He is our source. He is the object of our worship and our love.
He alone is worthy of our lives, and He alone can supply our needs.
We give to others, but let us keep our vision clear.

We look past them, with our faith directed to God and offered as a service of love for Him.

You see as one writer said, “Greatness in the kingdom of heaven is measured by small acts of kindness.”

Oh How HE Loves Us!
