Giving out of poverty


1 Timothy 6:18 

18 Tell them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, to be generous givers, sharing with others.

 

Giving

 

Many give out of abundance … hanging on to what is left.

They offer themselves for “full” service … to live comfy from the rest.

 

Very few give out of poverty … and so put true faith to test

so their lives will be through service … simply showing their best.

 

Some give after contemplation … measuring from east to west.

Definitely for full assurance … to keep enough to clean their mess

 

Jesus knows every sparrow … and He sees its every quest.

Yes, He notices every penny … that you hide in your own nest.
