Charity
"Flatter
not thyself
in thy
faith in God
if thou hast
not charity
for thy
neighbor." ~ Francis Quarles
Faith without action is dead.
God has made this world reciprocal:
you give, you get;
you get and you share what you get,
and you will receive more.
Good alone is selfish, self-centered, smug,
complacent, grandiose, self-flattering and mean.
Have faith, God was wise to make us feel better
only by sharing the good.
Charity begins at home, a good place to practice, but
it lives on in the works that do the will of a loving God,
a Higher Power of your understanding, your acts of
random kindness and unconditional love.
Happiness is knowing that charity is from the heart.
Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
