A very interesting Haitian proverb; most literally, this means: \u201cGod knows to give, but He not know to distribute\u201d. In other words, God gives humans everything they need to survive, but it\u2019s the responsibility of the people to share and divide the bounty amongst themselves.<\/p>\n
In other words: Those who have should give to those who have not; that is the way God intended it to be.<\/p>\n
From what I have read about Haiti, this is lived more than just spoken. While many families go days without food, when they do get food they share every little bit they have with each other; despite the fact that the little they do get isn\u2019t enough for one, let alone to be shared.<\/p>\n
This is a direct expository for the biblical verse:<\/p>\n
John 3:<\/p>\n
11 John answered, "The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same." <\/p>\n
11 "If you have two coats, give one away," he said. "Do the same with your food."<\/p>\n
11 Li reponn yo: Sa ki gen de rad, se pou yo bay sak pa genyen an yonn. Sa ki gen manje pou manje, se pou l’ separe l’ bay yon l\u00f2t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
