As far as Brooks’ quote, I know from myself and from what I observe of others that with our good deeds, reciprocation or some other kind of benefit is usually expected.
You’re welcome, Tom, and thanks for your comment. Your comment about reciprocation is so true in our world today. Our dear old human nature…it dies so slowly.
“For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.”
Thanks for sharing, Keith. They are similar for sure! 🙂

I like the first quote
Thanks, ropheka. 🙂
Brooks and Spurgeon are right
Amen, Pastor Jim.
And amen Chris
I especially like the Brooks quote; it’s very reminiscent of Isaiah 64:6.
“For all of us have become like one who is unclean,
And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us wither like a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.”
