True Giving

Luke 21: 1-4

"As Jesus looked up, he saw some rich people putting their gifts into the Temple money box. Then he saw a poor widow putting two small copper coins into the box. He said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow gave more than all those rich people. They gave only what they didn't need. This woman is very poor, but she gave all she had to live on."

What can be true giving for you? Only you can decide what that is.

I believe in tithing. I believe that by giving one tenth to god and god's workers you will reap one hundred fold. However, if you give one tenth with anger, with mistrust or any hesitation you are not going to reap from said tithe. You should freely given one tenth. That means without any ill feelings or concerns about what you are giving. Make sure you bless the money and know in your heart that you will benefit from your tithe. Say I will get this or something better back in return. Also, know that your tithe will benefit those you are giving it to. Who are you giving it to? You are tithing to God or God's workers.

Remember only you can decide what true giving is. This giving has to come without strings, without attachment. It must come from your heart. Bless your giving and know you will reap the benefit from your good will.

BLESSED BE
