“And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.” Leviticus 19:9-10

Welfare was never God’s plan… it was always God’s plan for “His people” to take care of the poor… not the government. That was God’s Welfare Plan. He still intends for us Christians to take care of the poor today. He doesn’t want us to “keep back everything,” but always to share what we have. God bless you, Sherry
