The Poor - 2

Proverbs 22:7
The rich rules over the poor,
 And the borrower is servant to the lender.

Proverbs 14:21
He who despises his neighbor sins;
 But he who has mercy on the poor, happy is he.

Proverbs 14:31
He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker,
 But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.

Proverbs 19:17
He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord,
 And He will pay back what he has given.

Proverbs 21:13
Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor
 Will also cry himself and not be heard.

1 Corinthians 13:6-7

Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. —

Always love — pretty tall order and pretty tough stuff. Only God is always. But then Christians are fueled to an always love through the Holy Spirit! Elsewhere, Paul tells us that "The love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Rom. 5:5) No wonder this love is always — it is God's love, demonstrated by Jesus' sacrifice, and delivered by the Holy Spirit!

Thoughts 

"I resolve to endeavor to my utmost to act and think as if I had already seen the happiness of heaven and the torments of hell." - Jonathan Edwards

"When God is about to do something great, he starts with a difficulty. When he is about to do something truly magnificent, he starts with an impossibility."
