"One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Proverbs 11:24-25 (NIV)
King Solomon, the wisest man to ever live, (1 Kings 4:29-30), said that he who gives, will gain, and he that hordes, will lose what he has. Those who are generous with others will prosper. He also said that he who blesses others, shall himself be blessed.
The Bible says, give, and it shall be given unto you. (Luke 6:38) When we give to help the poor, we are actually lending to The Lord God, and it is He shall repay us for giving. (Proverbs 19:17) Remember the Bible story about the rich man and the poor beggar man named Lazarus who sat outside his gates. When they both died, their roles were reversed. (Luke 16:19-31) We are blessed so that we can be a blessing to others. Christ said that it is more blessed to give than to receive. (Acts 20:35) If we bless others, then we will also be blessed. Let us make it a point to be a blessing to at least one person each day. Let's practice random acts of kindness.
