Supporting the weak is the duty of all who desire to be strong!, supporting the poor is a duty of all who desire to be rich!, and supporting the sick is the duty of those who desire to be to be in good health.
It's true that we can't give what we don't have, but remember Joseph Mercier wrote
"we must not only give what we have, we must also give what we are.
Your good attitude, your being nice to people no matter who they are, your humility and your smile are virtues you can give.
Robert Half said
" Giving people a little more than they expect is a good way to get back more than you'd expect"
The greatest gifts are not necessarily material things
Barbara Bush, daughter of the former US President W. Bush once said
some people give time,some money, some their skills and connections,some literally give their life's blood.But everyone has something to give.
Many wait having expectations to receive. And only a few really plan or think of giving.
Giving provokes life! yes, givers have "Life" flowing into their lives, businessess and ministries!
That is why it is more blessed to give! That means you should be looking for daily avenues through which you can give. Great people are great because they are great givers from the little they had and they are the rulers of the world!
Buffet Warren the (2008) 2nd richest man on earth gave over $30 billion to help the needy. He could have just built mire mansions and made more money.
Bill Gates, the official richest man (2008) and founder of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has devoted his life to fight malaria in Africa! How many Africans have "Gates" in their surnames?
Oprah Winfrey, founder of the Oprah's Angel Network has donated over $300 million to the needy around the world. Remember she has no child, why did she not spend her money looking for children? She is wonderful, rare and uncommon indeed
Mother Teresa, who had no money devoted her life/time to caring for the poor and sickly.
In the midst of your own needs,
look for others and start giving.
Truth is if you can give the little you have, you can't give even when you have enough.
Learn to give
Don't stop giving
