Proverbs 22:9 - A generous man will himself be blessed

Compassion Week - Day 4

Today we met former children from the Compassion Child Sponsorship program who are now young adults attending college. One of these students is even aspiring to be Mayor in Ecuador one day. These students serve as an example that Compassion's child development model truly works. This model seeks to release children from poverty through a holistic approach serving the spiritual, emotional, physical, social, educational, and economic needs of a child. If you would like to learn more, please visit Sponsor a Child in Ecuador.

Proverbs 22:9

A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.

He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.

He who is generous will be blessed, For he gives some of his food to the poor.

Proverbs 22:9

Commentary

Jesus came to show us a heart of compassion, a heart that was constantly identifying with the least, the last and the lost of our world.
Jesus said repeatedly, "Follow Me." He means for us to incorporate serving others as He did. He cared about children, widows, orphans, sinners, the sick ... everyone.
