Help the needy

Proverbs 14:31 “Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.” Honoring God–what a privilege!  Helping the needy is not an obligation—it is a privilege.  How can we deny those who honestly ask for our help?  In turn, those who are needy have a responsibility to be appreciative.  We all should serve our Maker however we are able.  The reward?  The privilege of honoring God.  Blessings always follow.
