The greatest act of love and generosity was God giving his son Jesus for us. Giving our time, talents, and money is simply our natural response to an understanding of the generosity of a good God. 

God doesn’t need our money; He already owns it all. As we willingly set aside the first part of our income for the Lord, our hearts will turn toward Him. (Matthew 6:21)

When we give to the church, we fulfill God’s command to “bring the whole tithe into the storehouse”. Through the church, we can directly meet people’s needs. It is critically important to understand that the money we have is not our own. It is God’s money, and he has entrusted it to us to manage. A good money manager will consistently do four things with the money God has given him: worship God (Leviticus 27:30), meet his own needs (Philippians 4:19), meet the needs of others (Acts 2:45), and have a little fun (1 Timothy 6:17).

God wants you to give with a cheerful heart and above else to glorify Him in the process, and remember God does not need your money, He wants your heart.
