Never grow a wishbone, daughter, where your backbone ought
to be.

God and Signs
Why does this generation ask
for a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to it.
Mark 8:12
With their most solemn
oath they have sworn by God that if a sign came to them, they would believe it. Say, Signs are in the power of God alone;
and He does not teach you with signs, because when they were wrought, you did not believe.
Koran 6:109
Charity
But when
you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret.
Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Matthew 6:3
There is a man who gives
a charity and he conceals it so much so that his left hand does not know what his right hand spends.
Hadith of Bukhari
God Cares For You
Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet
your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
Matthew 6:26
How many animals do not carry
their own food! God feeds them and hears you. He hears, knows all things.
Koran 29:60
The Wealthy and Heaven
It is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
Matthew 19:24
To
those who reject Our signs and arrogantly turn away from them, the doors of heaven will not be opened, nor will they enter
paradise until the camel passes through the eye of the needle.
Koran 7:40
Believers and Non-Believers
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep
pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
John 10:16
All those who believe, and the Jews and the Sabeans and the Christians--anyone who believes in God and the Last
Day, and does good--will have nothing to fear or regret.
Koran 5:69
False Prophets
Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing,
but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
Matthew 7:15
In the last times men will come forth who will fraudulently
use religion for worldly ends and wear sheepskins in public to display meekness. Their tongues will be sweeter than sugar,
but their hearts will be the hearts of wolves.

to be around for you to talk to... THAT'S GOD...

a debt that had mysteriously been cleared,
or
a coupon to a department store where you had just
seen something you wanted, but couldn't afford... THAT'S
GOD... He knows the desires of
your heart...
Have you ever been in a situation and you
had no clue
how it is going to get better, but now you look back

sent to you?
Nope! I was thinking of you! Please pass this along and

are truly endless.
