Do you think when you spend out of what you have it will get finished??.
No!!.
The more you spend, the more you have!.
When you look at your surroundings, you will realize there are people in need of your assistance, there are people in need of your help and your support. When you have, you give. This doesn't mean you will never get another.
The day I saw in the Bible that Jesus said we will always have the poor among us was the day I knew those who have should never make the poor suffer. The rich, whether little or much should always be there for those who doesn't have, those who keeps coming to you. You shouldn't shun anyone out of your way because it is your responsibility to give out of what (little) you have.
"Giving to the poor is an essential part of Christian morality" - C.S. LEWIS
The best of kindness is giving out of the little you have, don't wait till you have enough before you can render help or spend for others. There is love in sharing.
The Bible in Luke 6:38 says "Give, and it will be given to you".
When the holy book had ordered you to give, then would you hesitate and feel reluctant to spread that kindness towards others? One thing you never know is the one person you render help to today, be it material things, knowledge, wisdom, or just common vocational skills, then such a person made it great out of the little you impacted into their lives, they will never forget about you even when you are gone.
Giving doesn't mean your money alone. There are many things you can give to people and they will always appreciate you forever. I love giving anything with me. Many times, when I see someone not having something to eat and once they mention such beside me, and I know I have such thing at home, it doesn't cost me anything to spread my arms in giving them what they need.
You can give out your time.
You can give out your undivided attention.
You can give out your knowledge about something they don't know.
That clothes and shoes you aren't wearing again, you can give it out. Instead of destroying it or throwing it away, it is a way to put smiles on other people's face.
Everytime I give to people, I feel so happy doing something for others especially when I see their faces beaming with smiles and happiness. It doesn't cost you anything to give from what you have. You will always have in return.
In addition, the best way of giving, is the one you give with your right hand and your left hand isn’t aware. A scenario where you have to give in the public or make offerings to the public then you keep bragging about what you have done and the contribution you made in someone’s life.
You keep telling people if not for you, they wouldn’t have made it to where they were today. But remember you may not get any reward for what you did because you already got the familiarity, joy, and praise from people over what you did.
The best of giving is to give and never expect anything in return, then God will surely replace it for you in multiple folds.
To the stingy or selfish ones, there is nothing to gain from being selfish, also becoming an egocentric human, always lacking consideration for other people and concerned with your profits and pleasure alone, at the end of the day they will never get people around them, and most likely have a lonely life.
A short story....
This brought about the story of two close friends who were both rich and wealthy but had no children, one of them decided to be generous with his wealth and the other kept to his stingy and selfish ways. He would always want more and more, then it got to a stage where both friends became so old and couldn't accumulate more riches again, their wealth began to diminish since it's time for them to have some rest in their life.
One day, the rich generous friend was sitting outside the door as usual when he got a visit from his friend who had been seriously hungry, he decided to visit his generous friend for assistance as he is well known for his generous act. On getting there, he met his friend having some fresh air outside his corridor with some refreshment.
It became a great surprise to this friend because he thought visitors should have stopped coming to his friend’s residence since there were no more riches with them again, yet he still gets loads of visitors every time. With the little time, the stingy friend spent with him he discovered that these visitors are not in there to have from him but they are coming to give to him.
Then he asked his friend why are they coming to give you and they never come to give me a penny?. Then he said to his friend GIVERS NEVER LACK!!.
Remember when you give, you have in abundance. You will always never lack because those people you keep giving to are always praying for you and with that, you keep acquiring more into your life and it keeps flowing in like water that will never run dry. Always give. Make it a habit to render help. Stretch your hands to people who are in need and God will keep blessing you more.

I couldn't agree more my friend. When you give it shows trust and it means you have plenty for yourself and it will always be returned to you tenfold. Great writing 💙
