The Act Of Giving

“But when you give to charity, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,” basically when we give to the needy, we shouldn’t go around boasting how we were the one that helped someone out, so all can see our generosity. That would be your only reward, that your chest had a chance to puff up. Pride will never win God’s approval no matter what you’ve done to help someone. It is the motivation behind your giving that gets the Lord’s attention, and that should be from a place of love, and compassion. It’s better to give without thought, in the sense of not being concerned about your own needs, but from a heart reaction to their need. The law of reciprocity is always in effect, what goes around, comes around. Seed time and harvest are still working. Give and in time, the harvest of your giving will come. God will not be mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he reap. He loves a cheerful giver whose heart is in his giving. The feeling we get after giving to someone (without expecting anything in return), is better especially when the person was hurting badly from the lack in their life. If each one will help one, this world would be a much better place.
