Give

 

Do you give out of love or out of obligation? Our resources are limited, and we work hard to earn a living and pay our bills. Frequently, it's hard to donate and give something if we are also in need. How can we have a heart to give without expecting anything in return?

As a working mom, I always budget my salary and see that I have allocated money for specific items. So, I am a checklist mom.  I love to list all my possible expenses and know that I did not forget something. If there are unexpected expenses or someone needs urgent money, I am hesitant to give because I am on a budget myself, and it will be ruined if I give a portion of it to things that are not listed. However, I realized that every person has different circumstances, and you may be well-off than me. If ever I am on a budget and someone needs money, especially if my mom and dad ask for it, I will find ways to have money to give them. If God has assigned you to become a channel of blessings for others, then it's an opportunity for you to give without hesitation.

In  2 Corinthians 9:7, it says:

"Each of you should give what you have decided to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

When we give, it should be from the heart and with gladness. Giving without worrying about losing money to someone is a great feeling. Because you are not losing your money, you're gaining something while giving; generosity is what you gain by giving favor to those in need.
