Giving is a demonstration of our trust in God. The practice of sacrificial giving can help bring us to a place of spiritual maturity, while at the same time provide funding for the ministry needs of the church. In a consumer culture, Jesus reminds us it is more blessed to give then receive. But giving doesn't come naturally to most of us. Giving is a journey of obedience and trust that we must intentionally strive to pursue. We'll never arrive at where God desires us to be without taking the first steps. The first steps are to decide to trust God and determine to be a giver just like Him.
