Donald Trump, the famous businessman, has a net worth of 3 billion dollars. There is a story about Trump's generosity with a stranger. It is said that Trump's limousine broke down on the Garden State Parkway on the way home from Atlantic City during a weekend excursion. An unemployed auto mechanic stopped to help, succeeded in getting the limo running and then refused to accept any payment for his services. Trump was so impressed that the next day he sent flowers to the mechanic's wife and a certified letter stating that the man's mortgage had been paid in full. Trump refuses to confirm or deny the story or say exactly what he did for the Good Samaritan. "I don't do those kinds of things for publicity," he said.

What a deal that would be, to have someone really rich taking care of you. If you knew that they had money and that they would gladly help you, you could be free from many a worry. You would have financial security. But that kind of security is hard to come by. Even Trump had to face bankruptcy. If you don't have a endless supply of money, can you ever be secure?

That's what Jesus is saying. He's saying that you can be secure. Make for yourselves purses and wallets that will never wear out. Give it away. Give it to the poor. Out of the treasures of your heart, give, and you will be secure in heaven and free from worry here on earth.
