Christians Caring and Sharing

Her little grandson was watching her make biscuits, (in some places they are
called cookies). On each biscuit she put a face. She put a sultana for each eye
and three sultanas for a smiling mouth.

When the biscuits were baked, they looked like a tray of little faces just
begging to be loved and eaten. When they had cooled down, Grandma offered one to her grandson.

He looked them over and gently picked out one to eat.

Grandma smiled. "Now, remember," she told him, "all the other biscuits are
watching to see how you treat this one."

So he treated his biscuit very tenderly. He held it carefully over a plate and
enjoyed it down to the last, last crumb.

"Look, Grandma," he said, "all the little biscuit faces are smiling at me
because they saw how I loved my biscuit."

And that is when Grandma discovered a very great sermon because 'nothing in
creation can hide from him; everything lies bare and exposed to the eyes of him
to whom we must render an account.' Hebrews 4:13.

Like a tray of biscuits, God can see how we treat every other 'biscuit.' He
wants us to hold each one gently like a treasure. He wants us to love each one
to the last, last crumb and his eyes beckon us to offer each 'biscuit' all the
loyalty and comfort we receive from Him.

He summons us to love the way He loves. "The eyes of the Lord range through the
whole world, to bring aid and comfort to those whose hearts are loyal to him."
2nd Chronicles 16:9
