Hebrews 13:16 (New Revised Standard Version)
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to GOD.
The first of the blessings from GOD is, that GOD is pleased when we share and do good.
All of us want to please GOD. We have an intense desire to hear Him say: "Well done, good and faithful servant." Did you know that GOD wants us to please Him? It is His will for us to fellowship with Him for all eternity as part of His family. I know this, because He said so in His Word and He showed us, over and over again how to please Him. One of the ways that He showes us is in this verse: do good and share is pleasing to GOD. GOD is Love and doing good and sharing is an act of Love. GOD is good; GOD is Love; God is mercy, and compassion; when we are good, loving, merciful and compassionate, we know that we are pleasing to GOD.
I Peter 2: 12b says that "they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify GOD in the day of visitation." Alms giving is like a plow, it plows up the hard ground of hearts which have grown cold by the work of the enemy of our soul, and by circumstances. When we give to the poor, it softens their heart and breaks up the rocky ground of their life, so that they can receive JESUS and "glorify GOD in the day of visitation." (the day when He manifests Himself through the witness of the servants of GOD). Many conversions of heart to JESUS have come through the giving of a "cup of water" in His Name.
GIVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS, IT PLEASES THE HEART OF GOD
