![]() If we give away all we have, while we withhold the heart from God, it will not profit. Doing good to others will do none to us, if it be not done from love to God, and good-will to men. There may be an open and lavish hand, where there is not a liberal and charitable heart. A clear head and a deep understanding, are of no value without a benevolent and charitable heart. Without this, the most glorious gifts are of no account to us, of no esteem in the sight of God. ![]() I wish you good health always and may you prosper in the works of your hand, your generation will call you blessed. I wish you joy, peace, grace, and favor in your new level of life. I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. 1 Corinthians 16:13 faith strength courage.
