Actress, author and podcast host Candace Cameron Bure’s husband helped change her approach to lending money. She said her husband’s stance on lending money to others changed her life. Check out the short video to hear exactly what her husband, Val, told her that dramatically changed her outlook on lending money.

Money can be a tricky and sensitive topic. Whenever the subject of money comes up in conversation, it can cause people to become tense and feel ill at ease. That is especially true when someone asks a friend or family member if they could lend them money. That request can strain relationships considerably and possibly even destroy them.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Candace mentions a time when a friend of hers and her husband asked if they would mind lending him some money. Candace admits that she was uneasy at first and did not necessarily want to lend this person money.

“And I was the person who went, ‘Yeah, we could give it to him, but I don’t think he’s going to pay us back,’” she said. “He says he’s going to pay us back. I don’t think he’s going to pay us back.”

Candace says that she and her husband prayed over the matter. Then, according to Candace, her husband made a statement that changed her entire life.

“And then my husband was like, ‘I don’t want it back, and if we ever give anything to anyone, even if they ask us for it, I want to give with no expectation,’” she recalled. “’ We’re never going to lend money to anyone; if we decide, we’re going to give money to someone.’” And that, that’s changed my life. It’s a very different thing to give without expectation.”

Luke 6:38 “Give and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you mete with, it shall be measured to you again.”
