You do yourself a favor when you are kind. If you are cruel, you only hurt yourself.

Wicked people do not really gain anything, but if you do what is right, you are certain to be rewarded.

Anyone who is determined to do right will live, but anyone who insists on doing wrong will die.

The LORD hates evil-minded people, but loves those who do right.

You can be sure that evil men will be punished, but righteous men will escape.

Beauty in a woman without good judgment is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout.

What good people want always results in good; when the wicked get what they want, everyone is angry.

Some people spend their money freely and still grow richer. Others are cautious, and yet grow poorer.

Be generous, and you will be prosperous. Help others, and you will be helped.

Proverbs 11:17-25

What we give, more than what we get, produces joy in our lives. Is there some small way you can help someone else be happier today? Hoarding never produces happiness. It comes as we seek the good of others and give away what God has given us.

It is more blessed to give than to receive.
