The Spirit of Charity ....

"It (a charitable spirit) disposes persons to consider not only their own difficulties, but also the burdens and afflictions of others, and the difficulties of their circumstances, and to esteem the case of those who are in straits and necessities as their own. .... a man of charitable spirit is is apt to see the afflictions of others, and to take notice of their aggravation, and to be filled with concern for them, as he would be for himself if under difficulties. And he is ready, also, to help them, and take delight in supplying their necessities, and relieving their difficulties." - Jonathan Edwards (Charity and Its Fruits)

Colossians 3:12 
Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, 
compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,

YOUR WORD


YOUR WORD is a LAMP to my feet
and a LIGHT to my path.

"Each man should use the word of God personally, practically and habitually, 
that he may see his way, and see what lies in it."
