"The poor are shunned even by their neighbors, but the rich have many friends.
It is a sin to despise one’s neighbor, but blessed is the one who is kind to the needy. Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God." - Proverbs 14.20,21,31 Help those who are poor and needy. Not because you will be blessed, but because God commands it. You will be blessed, yes, but your heart must be right in your giving. God says to help the household of faith, especially. That means those who are Christians. Many Christians put their money and help toward those who are not Christians to keep them from homelessness, making sure they are fed and not helping Christians - much of this is done to "get people into church," and "attracting them to Christ." This is unbiblical when it is at the expense of those who are already in Christ. It's not because Christians are more deserving. It's because we are a family. Going outside the family to be sure they are taken care of instead makes the family member know they are not cared about. That they do not matter. "So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." - Galatians 6.10 Help the poor. Help the needy. Help those less fortunate than yourself. Forgiven much, Tamara Jack Check out my 90 lb. Weight Loss Journey with Weight Watchers HERE!
