4-27-2013- I WANT TO BELIEVE BUT I CAN'T
"REMARKS"
I HAD AN INCIDENT HAPPEN YESTERDAY, THAT CONCERNED GIVING.
A MAN KNOCKED ON MY DOOR AND SAID HE WOULDN'T GET PAID UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY AND SAID HE HAD A WIFE AND KIDS AND WAS IN NEED OF MEAT AND MONEY, HE HAD CANNED GOODS.
I AM NOT A BIG MEAT EATER AND AS A SINGLE MAN, I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ENOUGH MEAT TO HELP BUT I DID GIVE HIM SOME MONEY TO EASE HIS BURDEN.
THE ISSUE HERE FOR ME IS THIS, IF I HAD KNOWN ANYTHING ABOUT THE MAN AND HIS LIFE, I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BELIEVED HIM AND WOULD GIVEN HIM MORE MONEY THAN I DID, JUST BECAUSE I COULD BELIEVE HIM AND WHAT HIS STORY WAS.
WHO KNOWS WHAT IS TRUTH ABOUT A STRANGER, WHETHER HE IS LYING, OR IS TELLING THE TRUTH.
I KNOW JESUS, YAH'SHUA, SAID TO GIVE TO ANYONE WHO ASKS OF YOU AND I ALWAYS DO THAT. AGAIN, THE ISSUE FOR ME IS, I WANT TO BELIEVE THIS MAN AND HIS STORY, BUT I CAN'T, SO, BECAUSE I CAN'T AFFIRM MY BELIEF IN HIM AND HIS STORY, HIS BLESSINGS FALL SHORT OF ITS POTENTIAL.
IS IT WRONG TO NOT TRUST A MAN?
NO, YAH'WEH, SAID TO NEVER PUT YOUR TRUST IN THE ARM OF FLESH, (MAN), BUT IN HIM.
ALWAYS GIVE TO THOSE WHO ASK OF YOU.
IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS GIVE A LITTLE, IF YOU BELIEVE, GIVE A LOT.
