Give Freely

“Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.”  (Matthew 5:42 NIV)

I believe we are to give freely of what has been given to us.  We should give as if giving to Jesus without counting the cost or expecting a return.  If what is borrowed comes back we can give thanks.  If it does not we can give thanks because we were in a position to share.

Being in a position to give, even a small amount, is a blessing.  Everything we have is from above and has been freely given to us so we should share it, bless with it, be free with it because God will not be outdone in generosity.

When we are asked to give, we shouldn’t judge the one seeking help.  We shouldn’t turn away even if we know with certainty that what we will give a borrower will be lost forever.  We should simply give with love to Jesus and He will in His time and in His way bless us.
