Notes

Faithfulness and Kindness and Goodness Can Soon Bring About Amazing Harvests in All Forms of Ways
more info and joy and peace are almost essential qualities and characteristics when it comes to serving and ministering to those who find themselves really poor.

We are in need of the love of God bubbling up within us to give us the motivation and inspiration and even compassion necessary to keep on serving when it becomes hard and demanding and challenging.

Joy can be seen in the eyes of these to whom we give something that will relieve the pain and poverty around around them and that visible joy could cause a spring of joy to seem in your heart almost simultaneously. It is always joy to behold joy in another person's sore life.

Then, there is peace. Many people are marching for peace and writing about peace and struggling and even fighting for peace, but real peace is area of the fruit of the Holy Spirit of God. That is just a fact.

There exists a peace which come from knowing deep within that Almighty God is in charge of this world, even when we have been confronting the suffering all over.

Those, in the slums of Kampala in Uganda, and in Mathere in Nairobi, whose hearts are filled with the love of God and whose faith is strong, know that deep peace which passes all understanding.

When one has a worldwide perspective there's an ability to see the broader picture also to perceive just what is going on and going to happen behind all that is visible on the surface. It is wonderful in order to understand this whole aspect.

These dear people in Uganda and Kenya whom I have had the fantastic privilege of meeting, have a sense of patience which is remarkable. They are aware of the corruption going on all around them, but they are also aware of people who care doing what they are able to to greatly help and assist and encourage.

Poverty and hunger and conflict and persecution enable some individuals to understand what others might never understand.

Hardship results in amazing harvests on occasion and when those people who are experiencing this share their story, it really is heart rending and heart warming.

Kindness and goodness may be considered by some to be rather old fashioned but to those who choose a helping hand kindness and goodness may be the very thing they need to see them through another month.

Another word that is is indeed precious to those who are really poor is faithfulness and faithfulness in the west is a scarce commodity, especially in the realm of marriage.

Cultivate faithfulness and kindness and goodness and donate to someone else's harvest. Within a very short period you will reap the rich reward which only our gracious God can provide and impart.
