GIVING

When you see someone in need, reach out to them in love. So often you think that you have to have money to give, but people sometimes just need a word of encouragement of a listening ear.

Just think about this. I had no money while I lived on Earth, but I was able to meet the needs of all those who came to Me. I own the cattle on a thousand hills, but I had no earthly possessions when I humbled Myself and came to live on Earth as the Son of Man.

When I walked the Sea of Galilee, I had only one garment of clothing to wear. Others invited Me to spend the night in their homes and that is how I was fed. One time I told a scribe who wanted to follow Me, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

I lived a life that was totally dependent upon the Father and others to meet My needs. I lived that way to prove to you that you do not have to have money to share the riches of My kingdom with others. You only have to do the will of My Father.

MATTHEW 8:19-20
