I have found being poor, you can still give to the poor. Like helping with chores, if they are sick. Comforting when someone is sad, or sharing the gospel with one who does not know. Giving unused clothing, to those without. Sharing recipes that can expand their finances, like how Jesus did with the fish and loaves of bread. Keeping company with one who is lonely, and much more..I did not need money to do those things..I believe all can give, if they open their minds to what is their wealth!![]()
Yes, I completely agree with that. I guess my point though is that someone with that kind of heart will only do more with more money. God told Abraham that he would bless him and make him a blessing. God made Abraham rich. It's part of the covenant but God did it so that Abraham would be a blessing, not so he could just build bigger barns to hold more stuff.
In fact with God's word in effect in your life when you give, it's given back good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. It's an endless supply of you giving and reaping. That's the way wealth is supposed to be looked at, not as something evil where it's all about how much you can accumulate and horde.
Many Christians won't believe for this blessing from God though because they view all money as evil and everyone with money as evil. It really is a shame to me because without that blessing from God many suffer from the effects of poverty that otherwise wouldn't have to.
