II Corinthians 9:9 (NIV)
As it is written: "He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever."
Yesterday we discussed the "bountiful eye", those who look and find ways to give to the poor and those in need; people who will be blessed because they gave. Today we will talk about "scattering abroad".
There is a woman in our Church who gives clothing and food every Sunday, after every Service, on Monday at another Church and on Saturday to the people in the homeless camps. She gives out what she receives from others and there is no limit to the giving. People do not have to qualify for food or clothing; no paper work, no hoops to go through to get help; she just gives. She has a garage full of clothing, if there is a need for a sweater, call her and she will provide. This woman will not stop, day or night, giving and giving to anyone who is in need. When she goes to the store, she looks for men/women/children who are asking for help, she gives what she has to them. Her car is filled with clothing to give, all sorted by size and all appropriate for the season.
SHE SCATTERS ABROAD IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS. Her card reads: "Helping Hands Ministry"; she stands on the word, "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me."
This is an example of how we are to "scatter abroad" with a "bountiful eye"; unconditionally and with the Love of the LORD JESUS. May we all follow this example of a holy woman who does not count the cost, just gives.
