The Awesum Truth - Unbelievable?
** Your necessities are added to you as by-products of seeking first the Kingdom of God. (Matt 6:33) Faith is to believe for other's needs be met through You! It was never intended to be used primarily for your self! If you stop and concentrate on Blessing others; you will be abonduently blessed in the process... The only questions is where is your Focus? **

God's Love changes everything else...
- One of the best things that ever happened to me occurred when I laid "self " aside and then gave my time and efforts to others... It may not be popular or so what if they hate you as long as you stick with the truth and love God with all your heart; it does not really matter! Because it is better to be blessed when you give rather than striving to get or receive all the time! Then you are finding out that you are not the center of the universe; which actually can be fun!
- So many Americans have developed a welfare {Attitude} state of being! Their entire existence is to see what they can get from others {Usually Government}.... They develop a welfare {spoiled} mentality! Most of this group of people are just self centered brats {annoying self serving, non caring}, who think that everyone owes them something!
Wrong answer; because no one really owes you anything once you become an adult; you should learn to fin for yourself!
- If you are capable of working then get a job! Because if you can not provide for yourself better than government welfare, you have already got one foot in the grave! Anyone who strives to support them self will find that God will show you how to beat welfare! God will Bless your efforts when you seek to work and support your self; even if it is only slinging burgers @ Micky Dee's... He can lead you step by step toward a more prosperous and happy life! Try it!
- Sorry if this ruffles your feathers, but God made you to be a person who should be productive and learn to give not just sit back and receive! Now we know that are some {very few} who are physically or mentally limited and need more help than they can muster! This is understandable...
Or it is when a temporary case; where people have some hardship come upon them or accident which require some help for a limited {short as possible} who need help ...
But here in the USA we now have several generations of certain people who have settled down on the Welfare Plantation for the rest of their lives!
Why?
It is a sad state of affairs where any group of people expect to exist on the back or support of others for their existence! You are not here just to live off the society! Change your mindset! Quit being so self-centered! Stop sitting around just soaking up other people's resources and start becoming productive!
Conclusion:
Self centered people constantly think:
- What can I get?
- What will I receive out of this relationship?
- What can this church do for me?
- Why they done this or that for me?
- How come I do not have anything?
- Woe is me no one cares?
Start thinking:
- How can I be a blessing or help to others?
- How can God use me to meet other people's needs?
- How can I contribute to others?
==============================================
** Part of my High School Motto was : " to make this a better place for my having been here!"
This has been a guide post in my life; where I have been able to help others; like writing blogs!
* So do not go around pointing fingers at others {looking to blame or shame}; quit thinking " they don't deserve it! - because truthfully you don't deserve anything either just call it even and start attempting to out-give others!
Learn to serve others, which will Bless both you and them...
Ask how can I be a Blessing?
God rewards people who stop to help others * {the Good Samaritan} because all these blessings are Holy!
Luke 10:25-37
New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
BTW: This story is about the Good Samaritan!
25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[a]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b]”
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.
31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
32 So too, a Levitt, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.
35 The next day he took out two denarii[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
