giving

Generosity has little to do with giving gifts, and everything to do with giving space to others to be who they are.

Any fear associated with giving to God's kingdom is irrational. It's on par with a farmer who, out of fear of losing his seed, refuses to plant his fields.

Prosperity is not a promise, it__ a covenant. You don__ pray to get prosperity, you give to get it. Prosperity is not measured by how much you get but how much you give.

We can only be our best by giving, and so we always need to be in the process of giving or preparing to give.

Having love and not giving it is just as difficult as not having love and needing it

Generosity is not always tax deductible.

It's curious that the Church has become the most tightfisted at the very time in history when God has provided most generously. There's considerable talk about the end of the age, and many people seem to believe that Christ will return in their lifetime. But why is it that expecting Christ's return hasn't radically influenced our giving? Why is it that people who believe in the soon return of Christ are so quick to build their own financial empires--which prophecy tells us will perish--and so slow to build God's kingdom?

The emphasis in Scripture is not the amount we give, but the attitude with which we give.

People come in my house and say, __ like this._ I say, __o you want it?_ Isn__ that the Christian thing to do?

Charity you can give even when you haven't got.

Help them to show the world that our greatness is not in things we do for ourselves, but in things we do for others.

Charity is to be measured, not by what one has given away, but by what one has left.

Whether we live in poverty or prosperity, we can still live generously.

Rather than a vanity paycheck it feels better to give something of far more value than entertainment or money. Sometimes gifts can be priceless like that of love which is everything, connection, inspiration, devotion, attention, purpose_

As we draw on the grace of God He increases voluntary poverty all along the line. Always give the best you have got every time; never think about who you are giving it to; let other people take it or leave it as they choose. Pour out the best you have, and always be poor. Never reserve anything; never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives.

Giving back is so important. Give back to your communities in whatever way you can. With donations, items or with your time. The Universe blesses a generous heart.

I wanted to give you a victory. But by their essential nature triumphs can__ be given.

Whatever you sow, you will reap.
