“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.” (Prov. 19:17 ESV) 

Honor God with your generosity to the poor

“Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.” (Prov. 14:31 ESV) 

Demonstrate God’s love by opening  your heart to a brother in need

“But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?” (1 John 3:17 ESV)

It will be measured back to you

“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” (Luke 6:38 ESV)

Therefore…

“Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.” (Prov. 22:9 ESV)
