Love Of Vietnam Expressed
by |
(1 John 3:16-18 NKJV): By this, we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. |

The Poor Among Us
If there is among you a poor man of your brethren . . .
you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand.
—Deuteronomy
15:7
Francis Chan, in his book Crazy
Love, tells
of a family with an interesting Christmas tradition. On
Christmas morning, the Robynson family doesn’t focus on
opening presents under the Christmas tree. Instead, they
make pancakes and coffee, and serve the breakfast to the
homeless. This is a small but creative way to show God’s
love and generosity to the poor.
God expected this kind of generosity from His people. In
Deuteronomy 15, Moses emphasized the reality of poverty
and how the more affluent must deal with it. They were
warned of four dangers:
A hard heart, ignoring
the needs of the poor (v.7).
A closed hand, withholding
what the poor lacked (v.7).
An evil thought, hesitating
or refusing to loan money to the poor because the year
of canceling debts was nearing (v.9).
A grudging spirit, a
reluctance to satisfy the needs of the poor among them
(v.10). Not only were they warned about selfishness, but
more important, they were encouraged to be spontaneously
generous (vv.8,10,11).
Among God’s people, there must always be a spirit of
generosity toward the poor. Let’s open our hearts and
our hands.
One grace each child of God can show
Generosity stems from the heart that has experienced
God’s grace.

(Luke 14:13-14 NIV) But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."
(Prov 31:8-9 NIV) "Speak up for
those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who
are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of
the poor and needy."
(Psa 41:1-3 NKJV) Blessed is he who considers the poor; The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, And he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed.
