Chocolate Ice Cream or Okra?
by Max Lucado
Jesus said: “The way you give to others is the way God will give to you.” (Luke 6:38).
It’s as if God sends you to purchase your neighbor’s groceries. “Whatever you get your neighbor, get also for yourself.” I’m crazy about double-chocolate ice cream, so I buy my neighbor double-chocolate ice cream. But suppose your neighbor’s trash blows into your yard. He’s in no rush—says he’ll get to it next week.
You’re just about to have a talk when God reminds you, “Time to go to the market and buy your neighbor’s groceries.” You march right past the double-chocolate ice cream toward the okra and rice. You drive back and drop the sack in the lap of your lazy, good-for-nothing neighbor. “Have a good dinner.”
The next time you go to your pantry, guess what you find? What will you be eating? Chocolate ice cream or okra? It’s up to you.

We reap what we sow, right? I think we often let our feelings run our lives way too much, and need to focus on the principles...not to mention letting God love them through us...

Chocolate ice cream is yummy but a constant diet is deadly, we need the okra and the rice (brown please)
