Principles forTrue Giving

Principles of Giving
Cheerfully;
Liberally;
Anonymously:
Give to a need.
Not to those who we wish to impress;
Neither to those who have much, in hopes of gaining their favor.
Give as alms to the poor.

Many times we give to those having a hard time in another area of their lives. Though the intent is to “cheer them up” this is not true giving. Giving must fulfill a definite need in the lives of others. (They need cheering, but that comes from the comforting Hands of the Lord) The giving needs to fit the need.

True giving fulfills a need for others, and not for self.
Give our all to the Lord.
Give ungrudgingly.
Give with no hope of return or reward.
True giving is from the heart; it is genuine and productive.
