You'll get it back

You ever lend money to folks knowing you'll never get it back. Yeah, you know the ones. They will ask if they can "borrow" some money but you know that "borrow" for them is synonymous with "give". It gets pretty easy in these situations to become jaded and not want to help anyone out.

How do you know who really needs to borrow money and who really doesn't? How do you know when you are really helping someone or just aiding them in their slothfulness? How do you know when giving someone something is the right thing to do? All good questions...

Today's word is Proverbs 19:17, NLT, which reads, "If you help the poor, you are lending to the LORD--and He will repay you!"

It takes some discernment when it comes to "lending"; we need to be sure that we aren't enabling, which I am sure I have done. But, when we do it sincerely, when we do it knowing GOD wants us to, when we do it knowing GOD is in it, we can rest assured that we will never miss what we give. But, it is even more than that...

If we give, knowing we are led by GOD, we can also be assured that GOD will give it back. I don't know about you but I have been blessed beyond my wildest imagination. GOD has given me more than I deserve, more than I ever expected, more than I can ever thank Him for. If GOD leads you to give to someone, He will repay you!

Be Blessed,
