Sharing
Mercy to the needy is a loan to God, and God pays back those loans in full.
Proverbs 19:17 (The Message)
He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD, And He will pay back what he has given.
Proverbs 19:17 (New King James Version)
If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord—and he will repay you!
Proverbs 19:17 (New Living Translation)
This is similar to the giving a cup of cold water blessing mentioned a couple of days ago. If we show mercy and generosity to the poor and needy, God will pay us back in full and then some. So see what you can do to help someone in need today.
