Matthew 5:42 -

42 To him who asks of you, 1give; and from him who wants to borrow from you, do not turn away.

421 Giving to one who asks and not turning away from a borrower prove that the kingdom people do not care for material things and are not possessed by them. 

- Matt. 5:42

I confess, I do care for some material things.  Like cute stationery from Taiwan.  Like my calligraphy parchment paper.  I get stingy sometimes when it comes to letting the same people borrow my best pencils, which they often lose or forget to return. Or offering people food, and they take more than their fair share.  But I shouldn't care.  If I want to be a kingdom person, I can't care.

But what if I think they don't deserve it?  What if I think that limiting them to what they take is for their own good and discipline?  

Matthew 5:7 -

7 Blessed are the 1merciful, for they shall be shown mercy.

71 To be righteous is to give one what he deserves, whereas to be merciful is to give one what he does not deserve. For the kingdom of the heavens we need to be not only righteous but also merciful.


Be merciful.  There's my answer.
