Thoughts About Doing

While we have time, therefore, let us do good to all -- especially to those of the household of faith.  The time for sowing, as we have said, is the present time, and in the life we now lead.  In this life, we can sow what we will; but when this life is over, the time for works is at an end.  Whence also, the Savior says, "Work while it is yet day; the night will come when none shall be able to work." -- St. Jerome

Do what you can, and then pray that God will give you the power to do what you cannot.  -- St. Augustine

Do all the good you can,
by all the means you can,
in all the ways you can,
in all the places you can,
at all the times you can,
to all the people you can,
as long as ever you can.  -- John Wesley

“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. -- Jesus (in Mt. 7:21; NLT)

With sincerity of heart, doing good has never been doing bad. Bad has been done in the name of good, and good has been done with bad intent as much as bad has been done with good intent. A sincere heart is patient in doing with divine intent good to the glory of God. Mike, I thank you for sharing with sincerity of heart. Highest regards with agape.
