He is pleased and that is the only appreciation one should need. I'm proud of you that you are following His light and His command, by caring and loving people. May you continue to do so, my Brother. :)<br /><br />I understand where you are coming from. I have been through such trobules to. I always look to the Word whenever I have questions. One paraphrase of what I've learned in the New Testament is:<br /><br />No servant is greater than the master. If they insulted and pulled His heartstrings, then they will do the same to us. All because we stand for what is right and for love. All because we stand for what is truth and Light. All because we stand for Our Savior, Jesus Christ. So, do not be suprised if no one appreciates your kindness. But continue to love them to glorify God. Love them to show His love and to show your love towards Jesus. Sometimes people need just some loving and praying to change a heart. Even the coldest heart can be renewed through Him. Kill them with kindness, Clayton. :)<br /><br />"It is written: "I will punish those who do wrong; I will repay them," says the Lord. But you should do this:<br />"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;<br />if he is thirsty, give him a drink.<br />Doing this will be like pouring<br />burning coals on his head." [Proverbs 25: 21-22]<br />Do not let evil defeat you, but defeat evil by doing good." ~Romans 12: 19-21~<br /><br />Version: NCV<br /><br />I love to continue this conversation with you, Clayton. Message me on Facebook for any questions or insights. I would love to hear your insights also as long as you are willing to hear a few of my own. Peace be to you! :)<br /><br />God bless, my Brother in Christ. Loves! ^-^<br /><br />P.S. Always remember that Jesus is always with you. He never gives up on you like some humans do. He will always love you, wherever you may go and whatever choices you make. His love will always be there. Pray to Him for strength, comfort, and perseverance. And I pray for you too, my Brother. :)P.

Remember the GB discussion about the Greeks' view of time vs. the Romans' view of time? Achilles' shield vs. Vergil's ever-recurring theme of Destiny. I think that ties in with this idea of Eternity being now. Oh! Maybe we just have shades of Eternity. All of history pointed to the first coming of Christ, and now everything follows points to the second coming of Christ. The real Eternity, and we see glimpses of it, but only through a mirror dimly. :-)Juliet SNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421787958634398344noreply@blogger.com
