GIVING TO THE POOR: THE ACTUAL LIBERATION
The act of giving to the poor is no longer a new story. People give in so many ways; materially, financially and other wise. But my focus today is giving financially and materially to the less privileged around you and the true liberation.
So many times, I see people donating one form of food item, clothing and money to the poor. Sometimes they take it as a point of duty to visit and give the same group of people yearly without solving the actual problem of either food or comfort which brings them back to the same place, no change at all. The same hardship, same position and same begging lifestyle.
To me, if you are buoyant enough to buy 100 bags of rice, cartons of tomatoes, clothing and other items, then have it in mind that the money for those items is capable of establishing or empowering a good number of persons with something substantial. If just one person from a poor background can be established, you have not just helped one person but an entire family and possibly, a generation yet unborn. You've erased their names from the book of poverty and wouldn't have to wait for you next year to give to them but establish themselves and possibly join you in your vision of elevating others from poverty.
However, do the little you can if you don't have so much to empower the poor yet. God will continue to bless you as far as it is done genuinely from a good and sincere heart.

Giving is an attitude, I agree that there's a right way to giving. When you sow richly you will not only change someone richly. There should be an attitude to it. Thanks for sharing @celineaugustinee #steemit9ja

Thanks.
Thanks sis.
Nice one but I have a question here. In a situation wherby u encountered one who doesn't like spendid his material wealths and he always expects you to spend on him. Being merciful on him, u spend often and share all you have with him, could this be referred to as -FOOLISH GIVING-??
Giving wisely and to those who are really in need answers your question. Don't let anyone take your act of giving for granted because someone who cannot give you and always want to get from you, is no friend at all. Be wise @sanctuspierre.
Life gives us so we can give to others..
It is always better to give than to receive..thanks for sharing this needful post @celineaugustinee
