Psalms 41:1
Psalms 41:1
Blessed is he that considereth the poor.
Compassion for the less fortunate is a mark of true spiritual maturity and reflects a heart deeply aligned with divine love. To consider the poor goes beyond sympathy, moving us into actions that bring genuine relief and upliftment. This blessing does not only rest on the recipient but is shared with the giver, who finds purpose and joy in providing hope to those who struggle. By caring for those in need, we demonstrate an empathy that mirrors a divine compassion, acknowledging that every person deserves dignity and respect. Supporting the poor is a testament to the values we hold dear, a commitment to being stewards of kindness in a world that often overlooks the vulnerable. Each act of compassion reinforces a spirit of humility, fostering a world where love prevails over hardship, and we find ourselves richly blessed in the simple act of caring for others as part of our own spiritual growth.
Acts 20:35
It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Deuteronomy 15:7
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren, thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him.
2 Corinthians 9:7
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:6
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
