Always lots of pearls of wisdom in the book of Proverbs. Here are a couple of verses:
"It is possible to give away
and become richer!
It is also possible to hold on too tightly and lose everything.
Yes, the liberal man
shall be rich!
By watering others,
he waters himself.'
~ Proverbs 11:24 & 25 LAB
*
Bible Commentary: "These two verses present a paradox, that we become richer by being generous. This world says to hold on to as much as possible, but God blesses those who give freely of their possessions, time, and energy. When we give, God supplies us with more so that we can give more. In addition, giving helps us gain a right perspective on our possessions. We realize they were never really ours to begin with, but when given to us by God to be used to help others. What then do we gain by giving? Freedom from enslavement to our possessions, the joy of helping others and God's blessings."
