Deut. 15:8• 8But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. (Deut. 15:8)
• An open heart and a wide hand are like God. “The Lord loveth a cheerful giver,” because that is precisely what He is Himself. “He giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not” And He would grant unto us the rare and most exquisite privilege of being imitators of Him. Marvelous grace! (“Deuteronomy 15” by C.H. Mackintosh)
