It doesn't matter what your state of existence is, there ARE ways to care for others! Money is fine, but, often, HOPE is what is needed by others, which, doesn't cost a thing to give, except for the investment of time to offer it! Sharing IS what this life is about, be that materially visible, or, invisibly from the heart! Doing good, and, being good, in the name of *GOD*/CHRIST, is evidence of our embracing of HIS LOVE, and, becomes manifest through action!!!
In reality, we are designed to share; it is deception which, has blinded us to many TRUTHS! LOVE IS THE LAW, and, those whom LOVE in the gist of their SAVIOUR, ARE inclined towards caring for the Earth, the creatures, and, their fellow-beings!!!
You can donate anything from a - z, and, anything from within! Donating TIME to others, is often, the greatest healer, encouragement, and, motivator! Just being KIND to everyone you encounter, sets the tone, as well!!!
We are to be as lights to the world, a TRUE REFLECTION of THE LORD, our *GOD*, and, DELIVERER; this means in EVERY way! CHRIST set up HIS comm'UNITY' of followers, PREMISED upon communal living; EVERYONE involved had to forego their worldly goods, and, divide them amongst ALL, that, EVERYONE was provided for! There is GREAT sense in this, because, it removes the very CONDITIONS which, often, lead people away from what is TRUE, RIGHT, and, GOOD, as, in a state of need, people are left to resort to ANY means towards obtaining, and so, are led into err, and, sin! Because of capitalism, and, the greed therein, societies have decided that communal ways, are socialism, and so, the very nature of the comm'UNITY' of THE LORD, has been twisted into something unfavourable, HOWEVER, the INTENT remains OPTIMAL for ALL!!!
There ARE benefits in DOING what LOVE commands; the more you give the more you shall receive, even if it is not immediately visible! Do unto others what you would have them do unto you, and, what goes around, comes around! IF our hearts are hardened to the plight of humanity, and, the creatures of the Earth, WHERE IS *GOD*/CHRIST evident? WHERE is the LOVE? WHERE is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of HIS people???
I have the following poem hanging on my refrigerator, it has been there for years, because, it SO perfectly, illustrates what has happened to society, thanks to the shroud of deception:
THE COLD WITHIN BY JAMES PATRICK KINNEY
Six humans trapped in happenstance
In dark and bitter cold,
Each one possessed a stick of wood,
Or so the story's told.
Their dying fire in need of logs
The first woman held hers back,
For of the faces around the fire,
She noticed one was black.
The next man looking across the way
Saw not one of his church,
And couldn't bring himself to give
The fire his stick of birch.
The third one sat in tattered clothes
He gave his coat a hitch,
Why should his log be put to use,
To warm the idle rich?
The rich man just sat back and thought
Of the wealth he had in store,
And how to keep what he had earned,
From the lazy, shiftless poor.
The black man's face bespoke revenge
As the fire passed from sight,
For all he saw in his stick of wood
Was a chance to spite the white.
The last man of this forlorn group
Did naught except for gain,
Giving only to those who gave,
Was how he played the game.
The logs held tight in death's still hands
Was proof of human sin,
They didn't die from the cold without,
They died from the cold within.
According to James Patrick Kinney's son, the poem is in the public domain
This post is inclusive TO the suffering at hand! THE WHOLE WORLD OVER is seeing the effects of the lack of understanding of LOVE! THE WHOLE WORLD OVER! More, and more, people are existing in circumstances NOT acceptable for humanity! Even Grandparents are suffering, AFTER working hard, all of their lives! This is NOT what LOVE would do; this IS what the deceiver has managed to do, because, there just AREN'T enough speaking out against what is away from LOVE/*GOD*/CHRIST, nor, are there enough in ACTION FOR the GIFT of LOVE!!!
