Hyung-Ja Lee, known for being one of the wealthiest and most generous Christian women in Korea reminds us:
“Even when we were a poor country, we used to have good hearts to share among our neighbors. We think of others and are not afraid to face poverty. It is not good to grasp only for oneself. For then the Lord gives constant poverty, since He does not like selfishness. When you give generously as He gave himself to us, then He gives you something constantly to offer.”
After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod’s household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means. Luke 8:1-3
