yea.

“Yea, they who are very poor may be obliged to give for the relief of others in much greater
distress even than they…
We may, by the rules of the gospel, be obliged to give to others
when we cannot do it without suffering ourselves…
how else will we bear one another’s burdens? If we are
never obliged to relieve others’ burdens but when we can do it
without burdening ourselves,
then how do we bear our neighbor’s burdens when we bear no burdens at all?”
– Jonathan Edwards
