Matthew 6:3-4 NLT But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
Notice, it says when (not if) we give to someone in need. This let’s us know God desires for us to give to someone in need. It could be the homeless, a friend who needs a few extra dollars, or that unknown woman who is in the grocery line attempting to find whatever she has in her purse to purchase groceries.
We won’t go to hell if we don’t give, but we’ll miss out on an opportunity to be used by God and we’ll miss out on an opportunity for God to bless us. When we give, we become an extention of God’s love. When we give, it will cause people to give to us (Luke 6:38).
Ultimately, it’s good to be a giver because we’re children of our Heavenly Father who is the ultimate giver. Let’s remove selfishness and be givers.
