George Mueller was an extraordinary Christian in 19th Century England. He founded a system of orphanages which cared for 10,000 orphans in his lifetime, and he started 117 schools. He operated entirely on faith, never asking for money or making his needs known, and God responded with miraculous provision. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_M%C3%BCller
God judges what we give by what we keep.
The Christian should never worry about tomorrow or give sparingly because of a possible future need. Only the present moment is ours to serve the Lord, and tomorrow may never come.
A brother with small earnings may ask,”Should I also give? My earning are already so small that my family can barely make ends meet.” My reply is, ”Have you ever considered that the very reason your earnings remain so small may be because you spend everything on yourself? If God gave you more, you would only use it to increase your own comfort instead of looking to see who is sick or who has no work at all that you might help them."
