How are we to give?

[Edwin]

God wants us to give with a cheerful heart, not grudgingly, and we are to give to other with no thought to receive a return, or being paid back. We are to do things for people when they can't return the favor. If we are in need, and God puts it on someone's heart to give we are to receive the gift graciously and realize it came from God, and not feel embarrassed by it, or refuse the gift!

[crisipicada]

All that we have are from above-strength, wisdom to make living, everything. Therefore, we are suppose to give all the glory to God. When we are in need, God uses people to be a channel of blessings to others - could be financially, emotionally, spiritually. Therefore, blessing is not only material things but also involved people God wants to be a blessing to us.

God uses, not only christian one, but also those who are not to be a blessing to us. It is all by the grace and mercy of God that we are still alive today. Money cannot buy fresh air all around us, we cannot buy love from parents or people. It is God who placed in our hearts to be a giver. In the case that somebody fool us do not worry because he or she will answer to the Lord.

[Edwin]

Yes, there is more than one way to give, and God appreciates our gifts. He also sees when people do us wrong, and you are correct they will answer to the Lord.
