God the Borrower Repays As Is Fitting

Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord. - Proverbs 19:17
A humbling notion, this! That our God, to whom we cannot give a gift worth paying back, considers our gifts to each other as a loan to Himself! Everything we have was made by God and given to us; what a weighty consideration is here put before us, that we can lend to God (and that with relative ease) as we give to the hungry and the needy and the neglected!
Be in awe of the awesome power we hold, by God’s grace alone, to choose to do evil, or to choose to do good.
