Greetings to all the brothers of steemchurch, God bless all those who delegated their steem power to strengthen this church.
I also made my small contribution, promising to give more, whenever I can!
By the way, giving is a blessing!
1 Timothy 6.17-19
The more understood someone is in an activity, the more they will enjoy it. For example, if an orchestra plays a beautiful composition, a good musician will enjoy it more than a person who does not have a trained ear. It may surprise you to know that the same thing happens with giving.
God has many reasons to ask us to give. First, by returning a portion of our money to the Lord, we are recognizing that everything we have belongs to Him (Psalm 50.10). Second, giving is a way of obeying (Dt 16.17). Third, when we give for a ministry or to help the needy, we participate in the work of the kingdom, which is a source of joy. Fourth, our offering allows God to reveal his character; When we show generosity, He faithfully provides for our needs and blesses us with abundance (2 Cor 9.8). The principle "we can not overcome God in generosity" is a great truth.
But giving involves more than our money. God has blessed us with talents, time, resources and numerous opportunities to share with others. It is important to trust in the guidance of the Holy Spirit; so we will know what, to whom and how much we should give.
Remember that the Lord constantly gives us salvation, comfort, encouragement, breath, life and countless more blessings. We are in debt to Him, and that is why we must give Him, not out of obligation, but out of gratitude and joy (2 Corinthians 9.7). Ask God to reveal all selfishness or hindrance that is preventing you from giving and that will help you be a better giver.
