DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  PROVERBS 3:3-4

(3)  Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
(4)  So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

IT IS FOR OUR OWN GOOD!

(3)  Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:  Brethren, as believers and followers of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  let us be kindly hearten, and show great kindness to others;  for we will never know, when we ourselves will need favors from others, since we are still alive on earth;  as the saying goes; "We live in a small world!"  and someday, we may need to lean on one another's shoulders for comforts when troubles comes our ways;  therefore, let us be merciful to one another and live peaceably with all men; let us forgive one another's trespasses as our heavenly Father forgives our trespasses:  for we ourselves were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. (Titus 3:3);  therefore, there is no one righteous, no not one; however, Jesus died and rose again from the death, so we can be made righteous by his shed blood on cross of Calvary;  however,  if we refuse to forgive our offenders, neither will our heavenly Father forgive our offenses; therefore, let us show tender loving cares to others; regardless of their sinful behaviors against us, so we can walk in righteousness, be true brothers and sisters and joint heirs with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior in eternity; and we free hearts from evil contaminants of spirits, which hinders true fellowships with our heavenly Father through the Holy Spirit;  also, when we forgive others; it is done for our own good;  therefore, let us forgive our offenders and forget our offenses;  for, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ forgave all our iniquities on the cross of Calvary, grant salvation, grace and life everlasting;  therefore, let us emulate him in all our ways, be merciful to others; when we keep offenses in our hearts, we grieve the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit to which we are sealed until day of redemption;  also, it is a sin to grieve the Holy Spirit;  for we lose communion with him, when our hearts are darken with grudges and malice from offenses:  also, as believers, let us be truthful in all our ways;  let our words be trustworthy, authentic, unquestionable; let us think of our spoken words before we speak what is in our hearts to fellow brethren; for King Solomon said;  "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." (Proverbs 25:11); let us always desire to speak in truthfulness, telling lies is of the devil;  he resides not in truth, for there is no truth in him; when he lies, he lies of his own evil imagination: for he is a liar, and the father of it; therefore, let us not follow after his sinful natures and formulate stories among brethren; but, let us tie mercy and truth around our necks like unto necklaces, and record them upon our hearts, to remind ourselves, to express its attributes and show its qualities by our actions and deeds toward others.

(4)  So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.  Brethren, this book of life contains everything humanity needs to guide our ways in life; all things recorded in the scriptures are for our own goodwill; our heavenly Father does not need anything for us;  (i)  he spoke his words and created all things. (John 1:1-3)  it was done for our goodwill;  (ii)  our heavenly Father created man in his own image and place him in the garden of Eden, to rule over all things of the earth and enjoy them. (Genesis 1:26-30),  it was done for our goodwill;  (iii)  when Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of /Eden, chose death over life;  and as a result of their wrong choices, sin came into the world;  our heavenly Father gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16),  it was done for our goodwill;  also, when Jesus Christ, suffered, died on the cross of Calvary, was buried and rose again from death on the third day and sitting on the right hand of our heavenly Father, as an advocate for humanity; he did it all for our own goodwill;  therefore, let us walk in faith, in his righteousness, show kindness to one another as our heavenly Father does; let us sympathize, feel for others who are in difficult situations, show tender loving kindness and be responsive to their needs;  let us be compassionate, mourn with those who are mourning and rejoice with those who rejoice; for, then we will enjoy grace of our heavenly Father to its fullest, and have superior powers of discernment and enlightenment of intelligence in his sight and in the sight of humanity by the grace of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.  

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, let us have mercy on others who are in difficult situations and show empathy; put ourselves in their shoes, feel their sorrows and pains, with the heart of our heavenly Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; today, it does not matter what is going on in our lives; Jesus is the answer to all troubles of this life; let us pray to our heavenly Father through his holy name, he will have mercy and eradicate all troubles from our lives forever and evermore. Amen and Amen!
