One of the most freeing truths we can embrace as believers is this, we do not give to get. We do not give to earn a blessing. We do not give to convince God to do something for us. We give because love moves us. We give because the Spirit of God lives in us and His nature is generosity. When we understand that everything we have in Christ has already been given with no conditions attached, the way we give becomes peaceful and joyful,  instead of heavy and pressured.
