Amen. The charity inspired by God is of purpose prayed in the fiber of "inner being," - ref Psalm 139, God hears the not vocal & vocal prayers from someone, & just how precious are God's thoughts, told the Psalmist, if I could number God's benevolent impartial Salvation thoughts, yes by God merits the goodness of God, & God offers grace from God, the needed help from God has to be gladly received, God's Word is the bread of life 🙏, in Psalm 19 verse 7, the needed Law from the benevolence of God is perfect, & this refreshes the essence of self-hood, the fiber of the entirety of being. Yes, Psalm 118 is framed by thanksgiving to the Lord, for God's compassion in Salvation is everlasting. In Psalm 121, if God does not build the house, the laborers do labor in vain, and those who keep watch at night, do so in vain. Jesus blessed the children, & held a child, and told that someone needs to trust God like a child, to enter the kingdom of God, or should norwise enter into the kingdom of God. Jesus rebuked the opposite of God by, every Word from the mouth of God, ref Deut. 8:3 & God's Word is the bread of life. Jesus has the Word of God, and Solomon's system in Scripture had an extremely high tax rate, & that political system used trumpets from anonymous donor's to herald alms to the poor. Judas in betrayal told that the alabaster ointment could be sold & given to the poor, but really criticized Jesus of Nazareth, Name thereof. Jesus broke bread with Judas Isacariot, & in that the Psalmist penned, he broke the bread with me, then raised his heal against me Children need proper instruction, not only spiritual life instruction, however, earthly instruction. Children do not need social construction by being taught opposed to God and the ways of God, and an ideology of death like in Goshen, Egypt - God bless those who see through the veil, ref Isaiah 25, and, Jesus told it will be a time of distress that has never been seen up until that time, since the foundation of the world, (*note the generations since the foundation of the world numbers 6000+ years in generations, Biblical from the Garden of Eden until now), for if God did not intervene, then no flesh could survive. God gave the Passover, having no sin, Jesus the Messiah, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, is the High Priest, and in Revelation 19, Jesus of Nazareth, has the Word of God, called by the Word of God, & God's Word stands forever, ref Isaiah 40:8. In Psalm 33 verse 11, the counsel of the Lord stands forever, each generation. The Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit of God, and Jesus has the Sword from Inscribed, Faithful and True, from His mouth. In Revelation 19, Jesus' garment is dipped in the blood of unearned suffering, and the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy in verse 10. Just peace 🕊️🙏 by, from & of God, ref the Good News according to John, verses 26 to 31, in that blessed are those who believe and have not seen. And that they may have life in the Name of Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah of God. Good today of days.

We just are unable to comprehend the magnitude of the Love of God.

I was thinking the same thing. I felt childlike listening to a familiar story and also feeling like Martin realizing how many times we have met Christ in our daily lives. Were we kind? Were we helpful? Were we negligent? This is a good story for lent and all year! Peace and blessings 🙏

The heart is fountain of sentiments of love, and the lord Jesus is the source of love.

Our understanding is not God’s understanding. The older I get the more I realize how little I know. God’s WORD brings me comfort and humbles me all at once. Absolutely love Almighty God/Yeshua Hamashiach and love Leo Tolstoy. Thank you for sharing. ✝️❤️❤️❤️

I have endure many many therts, and it is and was family and friends, the reading in Luke convisted me anout the anger and pain I had toward them. I repent now, I had forgiven them all and never sought for restoration from them, but afyer hearing what Jesus sqid, I realize I just need to leave it to Him, they cannot take more than He has given me, and material things, even the money is nothing compared to what Jesus gives me. It is nothing compared to the peace that Jesus gives me. Now I must read Luke again. Its been way too long.

Incredible short story, well-written. I will have to look up some more of this man's work. This almost brought me to tears as it should have. It will urge me to continue to pray even harder that God soften my heart as it was. This world and the people becoming hard as Jesus predicted, even though I am in South America to spread the Gospel, this coldness is trying to harden my heart. Thank you as I think this will be another step back to my soft broken and contrite heart and spirit as it was. I still have compassion and love but after 40 years of Salvation and humbly preaching and teaching the Word for 35 years, these end times are becoming difficult plus the enemy is attacking my health to slow down the Gospel. God bless you all and your families and pray for soft, broken and contrite heart and spirit in these times. MARANATHA and Bendiciones from Craig Eduardo

This is so very unique & beautiful!! Thank you so much! I desire to listen to all of the Stories by Tolstroy!! The wholesomeness and moral biblical spirituality within his writing is absolutely God-Given and so deeply needed in this world AND in the world of Arts & Education, more than at any point in History. Many Thanks! And may the Ones who produced this & the Ones who listen to this, be With Our Lord God & Savior, Jesus Christ, always!

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Such beautiful deeply moving story of living The Holy scriptures in a life totally surrendered and transformed by our Lord and God Jesus Christ!❤🙏

Thank you beautiful ❤️

I thoroughly enjoyed this short story. It reminded me of God's goodness.

True. So many others are always up to mischief, others contemplating and thinking of evil deeds. Such as feet swift to mischief. Others with passive aggressive behaviors, which note aggressive, which is a seed of violence as this can lead violence. Which with the right people who have faith with love everything becomes good.

Beautiful good friday message. John 3:16 . We must live one another.
