God doesn't want something from you - He wants something for you. Through giving, God forms us into His likeness and frees us from the grip of materialism. The Macedonian church gave beyond their means despite extreme poverty, showing that generosity isn't about having excess but having a heart aligned with God's purposes. Jesus practiced radical simplicity, demonstrating that nothing should own our hearts. When we give our time, talents, and treasure as acts of worship, we discover the freedom and joy that comes from trusting God's provision rather than our own accumulation.
