When factories close, individual lifestyles are uprooted. Stressful situations cannot be ignored even if you are living in a comfort zone. Greed is a disastrous ingredient of the character known as egocentricity. A self-centered soul expects and depends on generosity. American's live in a land of opportunity for individuals to learn the true meaning of independency.
Compassion is a genuine capacity to feel what another person is experiencing. It’s honestly meaning it when you say, “I know exactly what you’re going through.” The light of the body, the eye that the Lord Jesus is referring to, is to focus on him and rise above the evil in the world. When Peter walked on the water with the Lord, he sank after taking his eye from Jesus. God's compassion is perpetually unlimited and forever infinite. Living faith moves mountains of turmoil for a clear path following the principle of goodness.
Christians are encouraged to walk by faith with a devoted confidence that Heaven is overflowing with abundance. It is God’s intention to improve the circumstance of every saint who lives by faith in a living Lord Jesus who will keep every promise recorded in the Holy Bible.
"These things I have spoken to you that in me you might have peace in the world. You shall have tribulation but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world."
St. John 16:33
"Store not treasures upon the earth where moth and dust corrupt and thieves break through and steal. Instead, store for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor dust corrupt and where thieves can never break through. Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. "
"The light of the body is the eye. If your eye is single then your whole body will be full of light. If your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of great darkness ..."
St. Matthew 7:19-22
Jesus came to offer an opportunity to live an abundant life through him fulfilled by his glorified presence (St. John 10:10). Heaven's resources are available here, now, and here after. I'm here after some life. If anyone prefers to grasp an opportunity to live in Christ, all things will become new. Fear vanishes because perfect love removes it. There is an inclination to share Christ with others gracefully. Genuine love for the living Lord Jesus saves lives.
Closet Christians shouldn't expect much although it isn't necessary to run door-to-door selling Christianity like Girl-Scout cookies. Churches are recognizable, yet very different. Many are genuine, yet some are drab and plastic. It is a mistake to focus on the views of mankind and very important to be selective. Recognize the genuine article that will always worship the Lord in spirit, trusting the Holy Bible as authority from Genesis to Revelation. The wise will refrain from depending on human intelligence concerning the things of God. Miracles occur without human intervention. God is clearly brilliant!
