He who gives when he is asked has waited too long.
(Seneca, 1st century Roman philosopher)
It’s a good thing to respond to a request to give to some need or worthy cause. It would be better, though, to see a need before being asked and to give generously and spontaneously without any pressure.
Just as you excel in everything . . . see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
(2 Corinthians 8:7)
