                                                                           Gracious Dealing

                  The Lord your God will bless you in all that you do.
                                                                         ~ Deuteronomy 15:18

JESUS TREATED HIS DISCIPLES
JUST THE WAY WE ARE TO
TREAT OUR FELLOW WORKERS. HIS
DISCIPLES WORKED FOR HIM BY GOING
OUT AND TEACHING THE PEOPLE
ABOUT GOD AND HIS SON.

  "A master was to give his bondservant liberty in due time, and was to start him in life with a liberal portion, heartily and cheerfully, so the Lord promised to bless the generous act.
  The spirit of this precept binds us to treat work people well. We ought to remember how the Lord has dealt with us and therefore we should deal graciously with others. It becomes those to be generous who are the children of a gracious God. How can we expect our great Master to bless us in our business if we oppress those who serve us?
  To be blessed in all that we do is to be blessed indeed. The Lord will send us this partly in prosperity, partly in content of mind, and partly in a sense of His favor, which is the best of all blessings. God's blessing is more than a fortune. It makes rich and adds no sorrow."
