“Give to him who asks of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from you.”
— Matthew 5:42 NASB1995
💼 Open Hands in a Closed-Fisted World
Jesus calls His people to radical generosity—not out of guilt, but out of love. Kingdom living means letting go of our grip on our possessions because we trust our Provider. We don’t turn away from needs when it’s in our power to help.
This verse challenges our comfort and our convenience. But Jesus isn’t interested in half-hearted giving—He wants hearts that reflect His own.
🔗 Ante-Nicene Reflection
Early believers shared freely with one another. They sold possessions to meet the needs of the Church and the poor, seeing their resources as God’s tools for love.
💭 Reflect
- Do I give when asked, or do I make excuses?
- Am I trusting God enough to be generous?
✨ Prayer
Lord, make my heart open and my hands ready. Help me reflect Your generosity in how I love and give. Amen.

● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
