“You have not lived a perfect day, even though you have earned your money, unless you have done something for someone who will never be able to repay you.” — Ruth Smeltzer
Reflection:
I thought this quote was very interesting, and I heartily agree! I have found that there is great joy in giving, especially to those who cannot repay you. Besides the joy you receive in giving to those in need, it is also sound financial counsel.
King Solomon, one of the wisest, not to mention the richest man in the world at his time, said, “The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.” In other words, the more generous you are with your riches, the more it will come back to you. Seeing the plight of the poor and coming to their aid is a sure way to reap blessing and benefits.
Why not try giving to someone who cannot repay you today and see what happens.
