There are universal laws that giving to others also provides a hand back to ourselves... This is why we can be givers and still be poor... We give out of what we consider to be slavery to giving when if we answered every guide or angel's voice of love to give....our abundance of gold would fill our house so high that we would have to dump our silver in piles outside our doors...but we enter into our bodies in rebellion...and we are tempted to quit focusing on serving others when we see the prize of gold before us...so rather than go for it...and become buried in our gold from giving and giving...some of us would rather take a vow of poverty and be stingy with our giving...
