Jesus told us to use our earthly resources to gain friends by making a real difference in their lives, and then lead them to Him. Therefore, do not hold on tightly to what you have been blessed with but apportion it for the greater good. The faithful steward will be trusted with more. Make a difference.
Give, and you will receive. You will be given much. Pressed down, shaken together, and running over, it will spill into your lap. The way you give to others is the way God will give to you. Luke 6:38
Each one should give as you have decided in your heart to give. You should not be sad when you give, and you should not give because you feel forced to give. God loves the person who gives happily. 2 Corinthians 9:7
The only thing they asked us was to remember to help the poor – something I really wanted to do. Galatians 2:10
Do not forget to do good to others, and share with them, because such sacrifices please God. Hebrews 13:16
