Luke 6:38 NLT Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.”

Giving was implemented by God. It’s a way to show our love and appreciation. When we love and appreciate someone, instinctively we want to do something or give to that person. It’s the same way with God. We’re grateful for all He’s done, so we give.

Giving was designed to get something to us. There are so many scriptures in the bible that let us know when we give anything (time, talent, or money), God guarantees we’ll get it back. In most cases, He promised to give us more than we gave. This is a spiritual law. It works regardless if we’re saved or not. When we give, it absolutely must be returned back to us.

Giving is also designed to get something from us. Giving is designed to get our hearts (Matthew 6:21). God wants our hearts (our trust). When we obey God and give to whoever or whatever He tells us to give to, we’re exercising our trust in God. We may not know why He wants us to give to a particular organization or person, but as we obey, we’re letting God and ourselves know that we trust Him over our logic and emotions.

While everyone else is being stingy and hoarding their resources, let’s beautify the world and be givers.
