WE ARE ALL BEGGARS

Do not look down on the man or woman by the road side or at your place of worship who ask you for alms.

Do you not know that we are no better that man or woman we consider as a beggar?

Someone asked you for help, assistance, or begged you for money: being privileged, you consider yourself better than the man or woman who need your assistance. 

You have forgotten you too have begged to be in the privileged position you are in. You are still begging to remain in the privilege position you are in.  You will continue begging for your needs and aspirations. Why then do you feel you are better than the one who asked for your help? 

No. you are not better than him or her. If someone approach you for assistance, say within you.  I too I am a beggar, so I must not hesitate to assist, it is within my power to do so. If I do not somebody will render the help I refused to honour.

Do not consider yourself better than anyone you think is underprivileged a beggar. No one ever achieve whatever achievement in life without the assistance of another. Above all, favour from God whom we all look up to for our sustenance, hope, dreams and aspirations.

God’s gift to some is manifold so that they too can act like HIM by giving to those whom HE has placed on our way.  Those you meet, those who come to you for help.

If you do not give to the one who asked you for help knowing it is within your ability, power and capacity, then you are holding on to something that belong to that man or woman  you  whom you consider a beggar.

Be human, have a heart of flesh, a heart full of love, a heart full of compassion, a heart full of sympathy a heart full of understanding, the heart full of mercy, and a humble heart.

We are beggars.   Gloria H.

THE CAPABLE WOMAN (WIFE)

How hare it is to find a capable wife!
She is worth far more than jewels!
Her husband puts his confidence in her,
and he will never be poor.
As long as she lives, she does him good and never harm.
She keeps herself busy making wool and linen cloth.
She brings home food from out-of-the-way places,
as merchant ships do.
She gets up before daylight to prepare food
for her family and to tell her servant women what to do.
She looks at the land and buy it, and with money she has
earned she plants vineyard.
She is a hard worker, strong and industrious. Prov. 31:10-31

DANCING IN THE LORD

 HOW DO YOU APPRECIATE GOD?

''I was dancing to honour the LORD, who chose me instead
of your father and his family to make me the leader of

his people Israel. 

And I will go on dancing to honour the LORD, and will
disgrace myself even more''  2nd Samuel 6:21-22
