Lend, hoping for nothing again
Deuteronomy 15:7-8
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother. But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
St Luke 6:31-35
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? For sinners also love those that love them.
And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? For sinners also do even the same.
And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? For sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
The children of the Highest don't lend as the world lends. We lend, hoping for nothing again. Did you hear what I just said? HOPING!!! FOR NOTHING AGAIN. When the children of the Highest lend, we're not hoping for a pay back, a come up, an interest incurred on borrowed funds. No, we (lendeth unto the Lord.) When we give to the poor we lend it to the Lord, and He will repay it.
Proverbs 19:17
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
To have the opportunity of lending to the Lord is a great privilege in life and yet so few take advantage of it. The poor we have always and in all places, so the opportunity is everywhere and at all times. Think about it!!! God Himself becomes debtor for everything given to the poor!!! How much will you advance God on this basis? God will pay it again, for in no case has He ever failed to do so.
Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
St Luke 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
St Matthew 10:42
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
St Matthew 16:27
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Psalm 112:9
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
Lend, as our Lord instructed us, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great!!!
