From Poverty to Generosity

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Mt. 5:3


Observing poverty as a way of life is not an end in itself, meaning, we don’t choose poverty for poverty’s sake. Rather, we choose poverty to KEEP LESS so that we can GIVE MORE. 

When someone’s poverty makes somebody poor, it’s not poverty; it’s misery. But when someone’s poverty makes somebody rich, it’s not just poverty; it’s generosity. 

Indeed, the purpose of poverty is generosity!
