Bible Question: If someone borrowed from me and would not give it back as he has promised does that mean I should not demand it back anymore? Up to what extent should I give to anyone who asks of me of his needs? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Bnbriones, I will answer the 2nd question first. When someone asks something of you the first thing you should do is take it to God and ask Him what His will is in the situation. If God tells you to give the person what he needs then do it. However, God can see the whole picture and sometimes will tell us not to help in the situation. We are to give to the needy but only when God puts it into our spirit to do so. If that person does not pay you back then that person will have to answer to God. You can not do anything about that person breaking their promise to you. If you hold onto the situation then it will turn into anger and resentment which is not of God. If God told you to give to this person then God will reward you for your obedience whether or not you were paid back or not. Give the situation over to God and let Him deal with this person. He may just convict the person's heart to honor his word. prayon |
