How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help? Let us love not in word or speech but in truth and action. –1 John 3:17-18
God Is Judge
The Lord is always watching what people do, everything they do is as clear as day to Him. None of their sins are hidden from Him, He is aware of them all. When we give to the poor, the Lord considers it as precious as a valuable ring. Human kindness is as precious to Him as life itself. Later He will judge the wicked and punish them, they will get what they deserve but the Lord will allow those who repent to return to Him. He always gives encouragement to those who are losing hope. –Sirach 17:19-24
The Joy Of Forgiveness
Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
While I kept silence, my body wasted away, through groaning all day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.
Then I acknowledged my sin to You and I did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” You forgave the guilt of my sin.
Therefore let all who are faithful offer prayer to You; At a time of distress, the rush of mighty waters shall not reach them.
You are a hiding place for me; You preserve me from trouble; You surround me with glad cries of deliverance. –Psalm 32:1-7
