A Morsel of Kindness




1 John 3:17- Suppose someone has enough to live and sees a brother or sister in need, but does not help. Then God's love is not living in that person.
-
Leo Tolstoy, the great Russian writer, tells of the time he was walking down the street and passed a beggar. Tolstoy reached into his pocket to give the beggar some money, but his pocket was empty. Tolstoy turned to the man and said, "I'm sorry, my brother, but I have nothing to give."
-
The beggar brightened and said, "You have given me more than I asked for- you have called me brother."
-
To the loved, a word of affection is a morsel, but to the love-starved, a word of affection can be a feast.

Besides, you never know, we may be entertaining angels unaware?
