Giving comes from the heart. If we give out of compassion or thankfulness our heart is pure. God gives us opportunity to love others through giving and serving. Being blessed by God allows us to share that blessing. If we are not willing to give from what we have already been given then our heart is not in line with God’s intended purpose for our life. Choose a life of giving.
Matthew 10:42
And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward
Proverbs 14:31
Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker,
but he who is generous to the needy honors him
Proverbs 19:17
Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord,
and he will repay him for his deed
Hebrews 6:10
For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do. And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises
