Grace for your spirit
One who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD, And He will repay him for his good deed. Proverbs 19:17
There is so much instruction in the Bible that directs us to help those in need. The picture of the judgment day features blessings for those who fed, clothed, and visited the least, last, and lonely of this world. Even with all the scripture, there still seems to be a skeptical attitude among many Christians toward helping those who ask. Many think the poor are lying. Others think helping the needy will never do anything for the church in the future, and we will never get paid back. There is a fear that people are taking advantage of us. Fear not, says the Spirit of God. When we help the poor, we are loaning it to the Lord. Who could be a better risk that Him? Lay up those treasures in heaven.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 3:23
