We hide God's word in our hearts that we can know how to live for and to please God.
Knowing God's word and prayer helps us make good decisions in life.
God is the one who teaches us through his Word, to hide his word in our hearts.
Raulie has a sensitive heart towards God and towards other people.
God teaches us to love him and to love others. Firstly and most importantly we are to love the family of God. We learn Bible verses to hide God's word in our hearts.
Psalms 119:11 ¶ Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Practice saying your verses and practice telling other people.
Raulie Considers the Poor
Raulie, worked a newspaper route early in
the morning before school. He rode his
bike from home to home. One morning he
saw a family rummaging the trashcans for food.
One of them had no shoes on his feet. His heart felt sad but he didn’t know what to
do. He couldn’t leave off his job to
check on them. He was specifically
instructed by his father to stay with the route and to get home as soon as
possible to eat and to get his bag for school.
Once Raulie was at school, he continued to
think about the people he saw and decided all he could do was pray. The best thing we can do is pray for someone
when we can do nothing else.
Raulie decided later that he would put a dollar
of his pay into a separate envelope. He
did this each time he got paid. Soon Raulie collected ten dollars, then soon
it became twenty dollars.
Raulie was out on his newspaper route and
noticed his neighbor fumbling about in shoes that were falling apart. He thought in his heart that his neighbor
needed help but he knew he needed to wait and talk to his parents before
helping anyone.
That morning he had time to talk to his
father about their neighbor needing help.
His father agreed to go to check on their elderly neighbor. "Dad, He said, I’ve been able to save twenty
dollars towards helping anyone who I see that needs help." "I’m so proud of you, my son, His father said. "I will double the twenty dollars if we see we
need to help our neighbor. "
His
father prayed with his son and they left together to check on their neighbor
Mr. Banner.
Mr. Banner weakly opened the door when he
heard his doorbell. They talked to Mr.
Banner for a while about his needs. Mr. Banner had no
food and had no clothes to warm him through the winter. He was recovering from being very sick.
Raulie's family, put their money together and
went shopping to buy Mr. Banner winter clothing and both fresh and dry
goods.
God wants us to help those that can not
help themselves. The bible says in:
James 2:16
And one of you say unto them, Depart in
peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things
which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
Proverbs 29:7
The righteous considereth the cause of the
poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
When we pray, God will lead us to know who to
help and when we should help. We know, that
God wants us to consider others. Sometimes
God wants us, to give just to show the love of God. It may be just as small as an iced cookie
with sprinkles or $100.00 towards a new baby’s future. Sometimes God blesses us just because we need
to know we are loved. Other times God
wants us to give to those who are truly in need like Mr. Banner.
We also need to remember that God promises blessings to his children that give without grudging. We are to give of our tithes and our offerings to the Lord. He promises that he will open the windows of heaven and shower us with blessings. He also promises if we do not hear the cry of the poor even though we have the ability to help, then God will not hear our cries when we need help.
Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Proverbs 21:13 ¶ Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.
Remember God considered us as poor lost
sinners in need. What did we need? We needed saved from our sins. God paid the price and provided a way. Jesus Christ his precious Son came to die for
our sins. Will you believe that Christ
died for you and paid the price for your sins? Will you believe that you are forgiven under his blood, shed for
you? Jesus arose from the dead and when
you trust him, he will live in your heart and comfort your soul as you trust
him and praise him. Ask him today for his great salvation which is found only through his Son, Christ Jesus.
I pray this in Christ's name, that you will be
saved and know Jesus today.
Father God, If there is anyone here today that does know you as Saviour, I pray you will open their eyes and hearts today to understand that without Jesus we are in need spiritually and that's why God sent his Only-begotten Son to die for our sins. God considered the poor both physically and spiritually. I pray you will use us today to teach your truth clearly as we teach. Give each one here the understanding of your love and forgiveness. I pray anyone here who needs to be saved would truly want to know you and live for you today.. In Christ Jesus' name, I pray this amen.

Shelby needed some new clothes for the cooler weather. All her clothes from last year were too
small. Shelby and her mother went
shopping and bought everything Shelby needed. They bought shoes and boots, dresses, pants, shirts
and a coat, plus many other things. Shelby was enjoying all her new clothes tremendously,
when she looked at her new shoes, she remembered something. "Mom," she said, I remembered just now that my friend at school does not have very good
shoes. Her shoes are all beat up and
worn nearly to pieces." Her mother replied,
“The cool fall weather is soon going to change and many children need a new
size clothing. They can no longer fit in
last fall's clothing. Sometimes people need
a little help from each other.”
Shelby was quiet until dinner. They all gathered at the table to eat. Shelby asked her dad if he would pray for her
friend, Renea, and her need for some new shoes.
He prayed for Renea and asked for the blessing of their food.
Later that evening before bed, they had devotions as a
family and Shelby’s dad chose a very important topic, a topic we all should pay
very close attention to.
James 2:16 And one of
you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye
give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
---If you have the
ability to give to someone in need then you should. If God brings someone into
your life that needs clothing or needs food.
Then we should do what we can because we can.
Sometimes God gives us what we need and sometimes others
give us what we need. We should be
humble enough to accept someone’s generosity of a helping hand or a gift from
them which is an answer to prayer. First
giving to God then giving to others. God
can show his love through us.
We also need to remember that giving to others or helping
others is being like God, however, we must ask direction as to whom we help and
for when we help.
Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do
good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Later, Shelby was trying to go to sleep but she couldn’t
stop thinking about her friend. She resized
after a while that God was telling her something. God was telling Shelby to buy her friends
shoes with her own allowance. She
finally went to sleep and slept all night.
That morning she got up and went to eat breakfast. "Dad, We prayed that God would give
Renea new shoes but God told me, in my heart, to buy them with my allowance. Mother said we will have to go shopping
together maybe even tonight." Her father
agreed, and they prayed over their breakfast.
They thanked the Lord for their food and all their many blessings.
Galatians 6:10
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all
men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
When people give to the poor it is called giving for charity. Charity in the bible means love in action.
God is an example of charity. God provides for our needs each day. We give thanks for those things and ask for
our needs. If our hearts are right with him.
He will provide.
He loved us so much
he sent us a very special gift. He sent
a gift that would change the heart of anyone who believes and accepts his gift. People
must be humble enough to ask and accept his gift of charity. The gift is his son. His only begotten son. Who laid down his life for you upon the
cross. Who shed his sinless blood in
your place. All because God wants to
save you from your sin and does not want you to go to hell. He tells us to ask, ask for what? ask him to
save you. Believe upon the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved. Believe
upon his death, burial, and resurrection.
He has offered you a gift of charity are you humble enough to receive it? God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.
Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto you.

Willaby was a big pouncy dog with a long-wet dripping tongue that hung about five
inches long. Mom told me to keep him out
of the formal living room where all her valuable gifts from dad were. My dad had died but my mother kept everything
he ever gave her.
Willaby was my best friend. He made my life an
adventure. He would let me dress him up
as a pirate. He would let me dress him
up as a clown. He let me ride on his
back like a horse. He was everywhere I
was. We could communicate with each
other; we knew each other so well. He
couldn’t talk people talk but I could still understand him.
One
day my mom needed to take a trip to the store.
I was doing my homework and my older sister was nearby if I needed any
help. Willaby laid down right beside me
and would look up at me with those big, let’s play, eyes. “Not right now Willaby, I said. I have to get my math done, just a few more
problems.”
Willaby was normally a very well-behaved dog, but he was restless and started running
around the house. “What’s wrong Willaby?” He was wining and biting at his tale. He took off fast from room to room as though
he was running from something. My sister
Teresa, shocked, asked, What’s wrong with Willaby?” He’s lost his mind.” Then it happened, a nightmare, He ran into
the formal living room and broke one of my mother’s most loved dolls. Then he broke a vase that my great grandmother
gave my mother when Dad and Mom got married.
My sister started bawling, “Moms going to be so upset! Dumb Dog!” She knelt down to pick up all the broken
pieces. “This was the one dad got her on
their twenty-third wedding anniversary.”
“I miss him so much!” She
wept. I do too, sis, how are we going to
tell mom?”
I
don’t know my sister sobbed”. I was
crying too and I really did not want to tell mom.
I ran
to my room and found an empty shoebox.
We gathered all the broken pieces and put them in the box. We sat it on the counter, In our
kitchen. “Now what?’ I asked.
My sister said, “Let’s pray.” “I’m afraid to tell mom.” “I know,” I said, she just got back to
normal.” So, we prayed and just sat
there with our tears flowing down our cheeks waiting for mom to walk in the
door.
We
could hear the car pull into the garage.
We could hear our mothers’ keys at the door. I ran to the door to help her with the groceries.
Teresa and Willaby both were there too and
Willaby licked her right on the face. “Hi
Guys, “ “ Thanks for the kiss Willaby, she said as she patted him on the head
and wiped the wetness from her
face. “How are all my sweethearts today?”
She asked with a smile.
“We
feel sad mom,” I said. “What’s wrong? Are you Okay? Did something
happen?”. “ It’s kind of hard to tell
you mom.” said my sister Teresa. “You
tell her Tom.” My sister whispered. “Mom, I’m just going to say it. Willaby was going crazy and ran all over the
house and charged into the formal living room.
He clumsily knocked over your things and they are broken now. “Oh no!” but are you okay and Willaby is he
okay?" “They were the things that dad and
grandma gave you mom.” "We are fine Mom.” "We are concerned about you." She opened the box and looked in at her broken
treasures.
My
mom started weeping and said something I will never forget. She was holding the box in her hand and said, “ Nothing, in this world is as precious to me as you both and Willaby. I know these gifts were from people I love. It’s been a while ago since your dad died. I can’t take any of these things to heaven
with me. Heaven is forever. I have
discovered what is more important in life.
You are and I love you more than anything I own. Even Willaby is more important to me than
anything I have.
I
just want to be sure that when this life is done for me. It would be to know it won’t mean goodbye.
It’s
not a goodbye for me and your dad. I will
see him again and we will hug and hold hands.
I will talk to him again and enjoy his smile. I want you both to know Jesus. Teresa, I want you to get saved.
I
would give up all the precious gifts I have, to know that you know Jesus and
love him. I may live many more years yet
but I want to know when I do that it’s not goodbye. Praise God, I will see your dad again, will
you.? I love you and I have the joy of
Jesus even though I miss your dad. God’s
joy for us is unspeakable in that we can know his presence through our tears. Psalms 30:5
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. We have a joy that can only can be found in Jesus
and our relationship with him. Trusting
him through our sorrows and also through our laughter.
You and Christ are the most important things to me.
"We
love you, mom! forever." "I love you too. mom hugged us" We love you too Willoby! Rough! Rough! "Let’s go play in the leaves!" Mom squealed. "Yes!"" Willaby will love that!" My sister cheered.
Dedicated to a precious friend in heaven today. I know I'll see you again.
I will give you a hug. Love you always.

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
