“For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore, I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide, unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy in thy land.” Deuteronomy 15:11 – God’s plan from the very beginning was that “His people” should take care of the poor, the needy, and the fatherless. He had no plan for welfare to do this, but for His people to do this. If everyone acted on God’s Word, the poor would be fed and the fatherless taken care of, and through this giving “kind of love” would come many blessings. Sherry
