One way to esteem a person is by what he says. A better way is what he does. The best way is by what he gives. Blessed are those who can give without remembering, and take without forgetting.
The big problem is not the “haves and have-nots; but it is the give-nots.” The Lord loves a cheerful giver and so does everyone else. “Feel for others in your wallet” says Charles Spurgeon.
The best generosity is that which is quick. When you give quickly, it is like giving twice. When you give only after being asked, you have waited too long. Whatever God can get through you, He will get to you.
The book of Acts 20:36 the Bible says; “It is more blessed to give than to receive”. Giving is always the thermometer of our love for others. “When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.”
When it comes to giving, some people stop at nothing. The trouble with too many people who give until it hurts is that they are so sensitive to pain. Greed always diminishes what has been gained. Giving is proof that you have conquered greed.
If you have, give; if you lack, give. People who give always receive..
Selfishness continually ends in self-destruction.
There is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving.
The test of generosity is not necessarily how much you give, but how much you have left.
What you give, lives.
