Have You Been Hurt,  Helping a "Friend?"

You may have tried to help

 a "friend" in need.

Many "hard luck" stories

 to you he feeds.

You try to help him.  And this

makes you feel good.

But this "friend," isn't being honest. 

Like a friend should.

Then something happens. 

You begin to say.

"Lord...  Why isn't he being

truthful with me...  today?"

If your motive is love. 

Then you are not wrong.

The principle of giving is

what really belongs.

Your "friend" will answer to

God for doing his part.

God is the true judge and

really knows his heart.

Just keep giving to others. 

Keep doing your best.

Give everything to God.  Let him

 take care of the rest.

Lay your treasures up in heaven

 and you will see.

The riches of God

in you, throughout eternity!
