When rendering assitance to the less priviledged, do not give all with say, food handouts. You can do that with the elderly, the disabled. But to those who are able bodied, EMPOWERMENT is the way to go. This category you do not have to give them fish as handouts. You need to give them the fishing rod, hook & nets & teach them to catch fish on their own. You give them skills training, teach them how to do basic market analysis & give them working capital to start small & viable projects. This way they will fend for their families on their own. Christianity will have a meaning in their lives & families. You also would have complimented government policy to create employment by setting up new business projects. They may be small, yes, but with close monitoring they won't stay small. They will grow & employ one or two workers. Their lives will change for the better. You will have more peace & joy because you have empowered someone to catch fish & not only to be given fish as a handout. Furthermore, the Lord will bless you. He said this in His Word: He who waters others will himself be watered. (see Proverbs 11:25). So you &/or your business will be watered. When something is watered, it will grow. So your business will grow, your profits will grow as well. The favor of God will speak for you always. You would have helped livelihoods. Grace & peace be with you.
