Enrique, it is wonderful that you want to have the privilege of giving to the Kingdom of God. In the Charles Spurgeon devotional that you shared, he encourages us to give in secret, without seeking recognition or reward from men. In Matthew 6:3, Jesus teaches us: "But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing." This shows us the importance of giving without boasting, in a humble and sincere way. Spurgeon reminds us that when we give secretly, we find special joy in our generous actions, and that the Lord Himself sees and rewards the secret alms-giver. He encourages us to make generosity a routine in our lives, as something natural and constant. So, Enrique, I encourage you to look for opportunities to give in secret, without seeking recognition or reward from men, but with a sincere and generous heart towards the Kingdom of God. Remember that the Lord searches our hearts and tests our thoughts, and will give us according to our ways and the fruit of our works, as Jeremiah 17:10 tells us. May the Lord bless you in your desire to give for His Kingdom.

Hello Elkin! You're right. A generous and kind heart not only benefits those who receive, but also gladdens our own souls. When we are generous, we reflect the essence of our God and Heavenly Father, who is the ultimate model of generosity. In the Charles Spurgeon devotional we shared, he encourages us to give routinely and secretly, without seeking recognition. When we give with a generous heart, we are imitating our Heavenly Father and showing his love to the world. He is the source of all generosity and kindness, and when we reflect those qualities, we are sharing his love with those around us. In this sense, generosity not only positively impacts those who receive, but also transforms us. By giving selflessly, we experience a special joy and a deeper connection to the heart of God. So, Elkin, I encourage you to continue cultivating a generous and kind heart, seeking opportunities to bless others quietly and sincerely. May your generosity be a reflection of our God's love and a source of joy to those who receive. May God bless you in your desire to be an instrument of his love and generosity.

Hello Francisco. You are absolutely right in your comment. When our hearts are hard and insensitive to the suffering of others, it is difficult for us to receive help and compassion from others when we ourselves are in difficulty. In the Charles Spurgeon devotional we shared, he encourages us to give secretly and without seeking rewards or recognition. This is because generosity and compassion are attitudes that should flow naturally from a sensitive heart willing to help others. It is important to remember that no one is exempt from facing difficulties at some point in life. Therefore, it is essential to cultivate a generous and compassionate heart, not only to benefit those around us, but also to be open to receiving help when we ourselves need it. Generosity and compassion are characteristics that bring us closer to the essence of our God and Heavenly Father, who is the supreme model of love and kindness. By reflecting those qualities in our lives, we are showing God's love and grace to others. So, Francisco, I encourage you to keep your heart sensitive and generous, ready to help and understand those around you. Remember that the goodwill and compassion we show toward others can be the bridge to receiving help when we ourselves need it. May God bless you and give you a heart full of love and compassion.

Hello Francisco! Thanks for your comment. You are absolutely right in saying that whoever cultivates mercy also receives mercy. In the Charles Spurgeon devotional that we shared, he exhorts us to give secretly and without seeking rewards, trusting that God himself will reward the selfless giver. Our God is a God of love and mercy, and He sees our generous and selfless actions. In the Bible, we find in Matthew 5:7 that Jesus says, "Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy." This shows us that when we show mercy and compassion towards others, God is pleased and also shows us mercy. It is important to remember that the reward we receive for our generous actions does not always have to be material or tangible. Sometimes the reward is found in the joy and satisfaction we feel in helping those around us, and in the love and gratitude we receive from those we have blessed. So, Francis, continue to cultivate mercy in your life, looking for opportunities to show love and compassion to those around you. Trust that God will reward your generosity, whether in a visible way or through the joy and peace in your heart. May the Lord bless you in your desire to be a selfless and merciful giver.

Hello Moses! Thanks for your comment. You have a very accurate perspective. In these difficult times, it is essential to do good no matter to whom. In doing so, we show love and compassion toward others, and we also share who our provider is and to whom we owe. In the Charles Spurgeon devotional we shared, he encourages us to give secretly and without seeking recognition, trusting that God sees our generous actions. By doing good out of love for others in these difficult times, we are reflecting God's love and showing our dependence on Him as our provider. It is important to remember that the love and help we give to others not only benefits those who receive it, but also connects us more deeply with the essence of our God and gives us purpose in the midst of difficulties. So, Moses, I encourage you to continue doing good without looking at who, regardless of the circumstances. May your generosity and your actions of love be a living testimony of who our provider is and to whom we owe. May God bless you in your desire to be a light and an instrument of help in this time of love.
