Giving is an affair of the heart. We should pray that our heart's response is appropriate in light of God's unspeakable gift of Christ to us. "Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful [hilarious] giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." (2 Corinthians 9:7-8)
It is not difficult to lay aside earthly wealth when you have God as your treasure. "O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you.... Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live....My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me." (Psalm 63:1,3,8)
