PARABLE:  
The 2 yr old received a box of wrapped ball candies at his party. As the only other child-- a 3 yr old-- looked longingly into box, his parent asked "Don't you want to share one piece with her?" The 2 year old at first pointedly ignored the repeated Q. Then finally said.... well, you know, without me saying it.
 
SO WHAT ??
Months later I'm still laughing.. & sympathizing with God. He gives us SO many exciting wrapped blessings to discover, & asks, "Don't you want to share a bit?" And our answer is often to either ignore the Q... or to ask Him for more candies.

What does LORD God say ??   JESUS, God's Son, declares in Matthew 25: 
34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
 
35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; 
I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me
I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
WHERE did people get food and drink and clothes 
TO give away?  These were 
BLESSINGS   to them FROM the LORD God.   
 
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
 
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, 
you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:  
42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food
I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
 
44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, 
inasmuch as   you did not    do it to one of the least of these, 
you   did not do  it to Me.’  
46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment,
     [ the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: ]  -- hell not meant for people
but the righteous into eternal life.”
