Deeds of Kindness

A thousand prayers, may lead someone to

                                 The gates of salvation

                                              But

                His deeds of kindness, towards the unfortunate,

                       Are those that the gates would open!

How wonderful to see you, Andrea! Thank you so much for your gracious comment. For your information though, I am anything else but a sage except if we examine the situation from Socrates' point of view! Haha! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I too believe Jesus opens the gates. By us showing our appreciation to Him through our own kindness, we may play some small role in pointing others towards Him. "faith without works is dead"

Yes, unquestionably, HE does open the gates but to whom? Each one of us creates his own heavenly account by his deeds and this is one of the prerequisites for the gates to open! Thank you for visiting! Merry Christmas my good friend, Richard!
