DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  MATTHEW 6:1-4

(1)  Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them:  otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
(2)  Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets,  that they may have glory of men.  Verily I say unto you,  They have their reward.
(3)  But when thou doest alms,  let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
(4)  That thine alms may be in secret:  and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY!

Brethren, when we give alms to the needy, let us do so cheerfully, in secret, with all our hearts; for, our Father loves cheerful givers; and our goodwills emulates his love given through the sufferings, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; salvation and eternity; therefore, if we receive our Father's goodness and mercies, let us endeavor to share our blessing with people in needy situations; give as much as we are able to give, and not overstep our boundaries;  for it is written in the book of 2 Corinthians 9:7: "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.  when we give alms to the poor and needy; we share our lights of love with them, lights of love reigns supreme in our hearts; our Father is pleased with our kind gestures and replenishes our souls with earthly and heavenly multiple blessings; for, it is written in 2 Corinthians 9:8;  And God is able to make all grace abound toward you;  that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good works.": however, when we blow our trumpets to other people about what we give, we lose the promises of favors and blessings of our Father; because he views our relating our kind gestures to others as arrogancy and prideful gestures; and withholds his blessings from our lives;  for moments when we brag about what we did, same moments we receive our rewards from applauses of men, honored with higher glories.

Most people endeavor to give alms whenever needy situations arises in other people lives;  others wait until the season to give; it does not matter when and how we do kind gestures; what matters is to give willfully, cheerfully with compassionate hearts; for, our Father is always pleased with cheerful givers;  when we grudge over our kind gestures before we endeavor to do them; they are without love and compassionate spirits, but with assertive forceful spirits, wrong motives and there are no blessings for forceful kind gestures;  as the season of giving approaches, most people will give to love ones, others will give unanimously to help the poor and needy have cheerful holidays;  if we decide to give alms, let us do so with love, and in secret; and not relate to other people, what and how much we gave out; but rather, thank our Father that we are able to receive his goodness and mercies, and gave to glorify his Holy Name on planet earth; and he will be delighted, our wells will never run dry, but will replenish our resources with abundance of blessings forevermore;  for it is written in the book  of Luke 6:38:  Give, and it shall be given unto you;  good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.  For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.":  therefore, let us believe in the words of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, trust him to fulfil his promises and give generously to help the homeless, orphans, widows/widowers, disaster relieves etc.; reach out, touch lives, make someone happy!, as we do these kind gestures, we do them all to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

 
CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, we live in a world of givings and takings; knowingly or unknowingly, we transact with one another at all times;  therefore, whether we receive services or serve others in this fallen world, we are all servants of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior,  therefore, when we serve, let us serve with joyfulness of hearts, know that our Father is aware of what we do for him; that we may receive his multiples blessings; the bottom line is, whatever we do in this world, we do it all for the glorification of our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!
