Bible Comments

He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor. A bountiful eye - One that disposes him to help all that he sees to be in want; the bountiful eye means the bountiful heart; for the heart looks through the eye. The merciful heart, even when the hand has little or nothing to give, shall be blessed of the Lord.
