Why ask for your daily bread when you own the bakery?

This is one of the great paradoxes of suffering. Those who don't suffer much think suffering should keep people from God, while many who suffer a great deal turn to God, not from him.

If we were to gain God's perspective, even for a moment, and were to look at the way we go through life accumulating and hoarding and displaying our things, we would have the same feelings of horror and pity that any sane person has when he views people in an asylum endlessly beating their heads against the wall.

Give cheerfully. If we're not cheerful, the problem is our heart, and the solution is redirecting our heart, not withholding our giving.

Image
Give sacrificially. We don't like risky faith. We like to have our safety net below us. But we miss the adventure of seeing God provide when we've really stretched ourselves in giving.

Christians are God's delivery people, through whom he does his giving to a needy world. We are conduits of God's grace to others. Our eternal investment portfolio should be full of the most strategic kingdom-building projects to which we can disburse God's funds.

When you leave this world, will you be known as one who accumulated treasures on earth that you couldn't keep? Or will you be recognized as one who invested treasures in heaven that you couldn't lose?

Image
There's a throne in each life big enough for only one. Christ may be on that throne, or money may be. But both cannot occupy it.

Image
God prospers me not to raise my standard of living, but to raise my standard of giving.
Randy Alcorn
Image
Give deliberately. Giving is at its best when it's a conscious effort that's repeatedly made.

Image
When my thirst for joy is satisfied by Christ, sin becomes unattractive.

Giving jump starts our relationship with God. It opens our fists so we can receive what God has for us.
Randy Alcorn
Image
Earth is a in-between world touched by both Heaven and Hell. Earth leads directly into Heaven or directly into Hell, affording a choice between the two. The best of life on Earth is a glimpse of Heaven the worst of life is a glimpse of Hell.

Give voluntarily. When we catch a vision of God's grace, we will give beyond our duty.
