“I promise that I’ll bless you with everything I have – bless and bless and bless!”
Hebrews 6:14 (MSG)
As I heard the sound of a handful of coins being emptied onto a table, I couldn’t help but glance at the person next to me. She was an old lady in tattered clothes who timidly ordered three pieces of pan de sal. As I saw that she was barefoot, I quickly got my pair of extra slippers in the car and gave it to her.
A few days after, our mission team went to the mountains and distributed gifts to the less privileged members of our outreach. On our way home, we had a quick stopover near outlet stores. I checked out some rubber shoes in a prestigious sports store. I needed a new pair then but didn’t have the budget for it yet. I was pleasantly surprised when a member of our team saw me and asked me if I like the shoes. He quickly bought it for me and in no time, I was running back to our bus wearing a new pair of rubber shoes!
Proverbs 19:17 (NLT) says, “If you help the poor you are lending to the Lord – and He will repay you.” God is faithful to His promises and more than wants to bless His people in every way. - Tapê of The Living Water.
What a privilege, O Lord, to be able to lend to You.
Help me to be compassionate to the poor.
Amen.
