Karma vs the Cross

I was driving down from Stirling to Stranraer the other day to catch the HSS back to belfast when I flicked the radio onto Radio 1, (Bluetree Boys need an album the ep 10 times over gets quite repetitive) It was the afternoon show presented by Edith, and she was doing live links to Edinburgh from the London studio. She talked to one women in a shop who was telling her how bad she'd been other the weekend, and needed to do something to redeem herself in fear of bad karma. Edith agreed and they devised a plan sending this women into princess street in Edinburgh to hand out flowers to random passers by who looked like they had a bad day. Her aim was to redeem her from the consequences of bad Karma. (By the way, the woman owned a florist in the city which would help)!!

This got me thinking... As christians random acts of kindness have something we have encourgaed over the last number of years, to do things we wouldnt normally do for the sake of demonstrating Gods love. How does what we do as Christians weigh up against the Radio1 Listner handing out flowers to randoms! In an effort to address the positive balance of Karma?

Obviously as Christians we do not believe in Karma as such, but we believe that its because Jesus paid the ultimate penalty for us on the Cross, that we are saved! Our salvation is by grace and not works!, yet James says without Works our Faith is Dead.

My thoughts
Random Acts of Kindness need to come from a pure heart, with the sole aim of demonstrating Father Gods heart of Love

How do we weigh Karma vs the christian principle of sowing and reeping?

Just some intial thoughts on this subject, I think I need to put some more thought into it? The youth Department, here is planning an mini street reach at the end of October! I wonder how people on the Street will react, will they see this as a balancing act of Karma our the Outpouring of Gods Love, through his holy spirit!

I know what I'm praying for!
