If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered. Proverbs 21:13
The more you give, the more He gives back. When we give our time, our talent, our energy, our money and care, God will return it all to us. A little girl was sent by her mother on an errand. Usually quite prompt, the little girl took much too long to return! When she walked in the door, the mother angrily demanded an explanation. The little girl said that on her way home, she had met a friend who was crying because she had broken her doll. "Oh," said the mother, "Then you stopped to help her fix her doll?" "Oh, no!" replied the little girl. "I stopped to help her cry!"
If you are open to those in need, God will be open to you and the prayers you pray.
