Helpfulness

I sadly was rocked the other day. To it simply I was questioned about my helpfulness and instead of just knowing what I know, my bitterness came out and grossness splattered out of my mouth. I at first was happy with myself b/c I had a good come back instead of just being quiet.
What i think I wish that I had was a Scripture Comeback. B/c I know that God calls us to be helpful. To help the needy/less fortunate. To not do it to be recognized, but to do it b/c He loves us so much, he helps us at all times. And so, here are some Scriptures and what they say about Helpfulness.

Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

1 John 3:17
If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?

Doing Good to All
Galatians 6:2
Carry each others burdens and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone think he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Proverbs 19:17
He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done.

I want to cry after reading this one. I want to tattoo this on my arm.

Hebrews 6:10
God is not unjust, HE will not forget you work Christine, and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them!!

Oh, how I needed to read/hear that. You Lord know all that's going on and what's really on my mind. I don't really want to talk about this, but only really to show my actions during this time. Yes, I have sought council from like minded individuals. I have asked for prayer. I haven't freaked out and had an onset of panic attacks. I have been praying that I would rest well tonight and now allow any overwhelming to make me crazy. Is this scaring anyone? it's just a situation at work that I HAVE NO control over and have to wait until tomorrow afternoon. I am a terrible waiter. I have no patience. I usually concoct the worse things in my head to head. I am not going to do that this time. I am going to ask for God's grace time and time again. Sometimes minute by minute.
