Deuteronomy 15:7-11
If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother, but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs. Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,’ and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and he cry out to the Lord against you, and it become sin among you. You shall surely give to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand. For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’
I tell you what. This verse really put a dagger of conviction in my heart when i read it.
When I give to the homeless even if I just give change I say “Jesus loves you” because I consider it a commmercial for Jesus. If when Christians gave to the homless they always mentioned Jesus name the homless would know which kind of folks are supporting them. I gave this week so thanx for the video.
