Proverbs 19:17

Proverbs 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
 
 
This first verse tells us how we can win the favor of God and be blessed. It offends God when we neglect the poor, or anyone in need, but when you do good for anyone, especially the poor, you are doing what pleases God God and He will reward you.
1 Timothy 6: 17-19 verifies this for us
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Let us always try to mindful of the people around us and be ready to help if they are in need.
