Zero Balance

 

A preacher was preaching the verse, it is better to give than to receive.  After the preaching was over an old poor man went to the preacher because he expected that the preacher may give him something.  The preacher himself was a poor man who had nothing to give this man.  He was searching in his mind to find something to give this man.  The organizers of the meeting had booked a room for the preacher in a hotel.  He took that booking slip and gave to the poor man and asked him to sleep in the comfortable bed.  The preacher went and slept outside in the cold. 

We should not think in order to give others we must have surplus.  Even in our deficit we can give others.  In the whole ministry of Jesus, He praised only few people and one among them is the poor widow who offered two pennies, the whole amount she had on that day and her balance was zero. The world will look into how much you give. God will look into your balance.
