God gives us so much, what do we give in return?

PSALM 33:5
People often blame God for letting bad things happen to us, for horrible situations to take place around the world, for sicknesses and poverty, for our circumstances, and our everything else that isn't right in our lives. I believe that is why God put us here to be the helping hand to those in need, to change the circumstances, helping each other out, supporting each other, comforting each other, praying for each other. How much fuller life gets when you help someone, that gratifying feeling you get for doing the right thing, or helping someone out, without getting anything in return from them.


  Romans 12:6   Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
   Romans 12:7   Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
   Romans 12:8   Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
   Romans 12:9   Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
   Romans 12:10   Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
   Romans 12:11   Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
   Romans 12:12   Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
   Romans 12:13   Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
   Romans 12:14   Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
   Romans 12:15   Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
   Romans 12:16   Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
   Romans 12:17   Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
   Romans 12:18   If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
   Romans 12:19   Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
   Romans 12:20   Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
   Romans 12:21   Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.


  Matthew 25:34   Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
   Matthew 25:35   For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
   Matthew 25:36   Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
   Matthew 25:37   Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
   Matthew 25:38   When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
   Matthew 25:39   Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
   Matthew 25:40   And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
   Matthew 25:41   Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
   Matthew 25:42   For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
   Matthew 25:43   I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
   Matthew 25:44   Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
   Matthew 25:45   Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
   Matthew 25:46   And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
