“Who Have Not and Yet Have Sufficient”

Brant Gardner

Just as the wealthy are subservient to God, so too are the "poor without sufficient" subservient to the "poor with sufficient." Even this small differentiation in substance is sufficient to create social divisions. Even those who are poor as to gold and silver, but who do have food and raiment have an obligation to avoid creating distinctions. Therefore, even though they may not have surplus to give, they must be able to be humble in their hearts. They must be able to know that they would give if they could.
