“And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:3)
In Christian discipleship, we can only ever give ourselves. Money given in Jesus’ name is just the token and pledge that the Christian will withhold no good thing from the one to whom the money is given. So if you are giving money to someone to make him go away, you have actually robbed him. God expects us to give these children far more. Because that’s what He himself does with beggars like us. He gives Himself. Having received Him, then, our calling is to give ourselves back to Him on the altar of the world. That’s our reasonable worship. So offer these children Christ’s friendship-love, of which your financial giving is gloriously but the smallest part.
GIVE LOVE NOT ONLY ON CHRISTMAS, MAKE IT A HABIT, GIVE LOVE EVERYDAY!
