The charitable give out at the door, and God puts in at the window.

The proverb presents generosity as compatible with having enough: a person gives to others, and divine provision restores what was given. Its doorway and window turn that belief into a picture of goods leaving by one route and arriving by another.

It encourages people not to let fear of loss prevent charitable giving. The point is trust in providence, rather than an expectation that every gift will bring an immediate or equal return.

Use it to encourage someone who hesitates to give because they worry about having less afterward, or to express faith that generosity need not leave a giver impoverished. Its appeal depends on a belief in God’s provision.
