Despising someone is disrespecting them which is a sin. Blessing someone is to allow both the giver and the receiver to experience happiness. Blessed is the person that is kind to the needy. How can I be kind?
22:9 declares, “A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.” 31:9 also declares what it means to be kind to the needy. “Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” Deuteronomy 15:8 commands, “Rather be openhanded and freely lend him whatever he needs.”
God has given all the ability to be creative and imaginative. Surely I can come up with a way to bless someone. I can look at those in my life and see what they need. Not everyone needs finances. Perhaps a person needs attention and kindness. Another may need to know that they matter and are of value. Perhaps they need help with a task. Surely everyone needs prayer. Hugs and kind words are worth more than riches to many. Lord God give me eyes ways to be kind to the people in my life.
