One of the great privileges we get is to be God’s hands in this world. In other words, we get to express His love to this world by our actions of love and grace. One of the ways we get to do this is to be kind to those who are suffering lack. When we give to them in the midst of their challenges, it blesses God’s heart, and He rewards us when we do so. Proverbs 19:17 (ISV) says: “Whoever is kind to the poor is lending to the Lord— the benefit of his gift will return to him in abundance”. Notice that it says the gift to the poor will return to us in abundance! We can never out-give God. He is MOST generous, and when He sees that we are righteously representing Him, He will continue to resource us with abundant provision so that we could continue to be generous with others.
2 Corinthians 9:8 & 11(NLT) “And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous”
