I
know a lady who was helping another lady. She loaned or gave her
hundreds of dollars to get her into an apartment, as she was
previously living in her car. Her health declined and she died a
couple days ago. Now the woman is upset because she isn't going to
get her money back. She said, “I am not ever going to help anyone
again.” She went on to say she was a sucker and she felt stupid.
She told me how she had talked to the woman’s son who came from his
home for the funeral, in hopes of trying to get some of her money
back. He told her she was stupid to give his mother any money, as she
just frittered it away on buying antiques or something like that. He
said she was a hoarder and they had cut her off years ago. Having
said that he's now back where he lives, with the certificate of his
mother's death and the insurance payment. I told her she did what the
Lord told us to do. It doesn't matter what the person we give to
does or doesn't do. That's on them. We obey the Lord's
commandments:
Luk
6:30 - 34
Give to every man that asketh of
thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask
them
not
again.
And
as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
For
if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also
love those that love them.
And
if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for
sinners also do even the same.
And
if ye lend
to them
of
whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to
sinners, to receive as much again.
I
know most of us have been subjected to the Commandments of the Lord
being twisted and distorted our entire lives, but they really do mean
what He said they mean. Anytime you hear someone trying to explain
away the clear and simple truths of the Lord's Commandments, be on
guard. If you follow their take on them, you too will be conforming
His Word to the flesh as they do. You are on your way to worshiping
the god of this world and leaving your first love behind. God forbid.
We've
all heard people who claim to be Christians say “We can't give them
money, they'll just spend it on booze or drugs.” or “We have to
be good stewards of what God has given us.” I tell you that there
are no qualifying statements to the Lord's Commandments. Simply
obey. Every time you hear such things, it is man trying to justify
the works of the flesh and his disobedience to the Lord. Simply obey
and do the will of the Lord, not the works of Satan. Give to all who
ask of you. Period. No if, ands, or buts. Simple. Obey His
commandments and you will be blessed.
Joh
14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that
loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I
will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Joh
15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as
I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
