| When
we don't have a lot of money, giving is often the last
thing we choose to do. After all, if we give away our
money, there is less for us. Our fear of not having enough
money causes us to hold tight.
Fear
and control blocks the flow of energy in our lives. If
we are going to experience abundance, we need to open
up and allow money to flow to us. By giving, we release
our hold on money and open the path for money to flow
in and out.
Let me
give you an example. One time, on "tithe demonstration
day" at church, we were asked to tithe for that one week
only. Family funds were tight so I wrote a check from
my business to the church. Believe me, I didn't have a
whole lot to give and I could have easily presented many
valid excuses for not tithing. Out of faithfulness to
God, I turned in my check to the church at 8:00 AM. By
12:00 PM, I received an online sale for $4.00 more than
what I tithed. I didn't lose any money - I gained!
If money
is tight for you, consider giving a little to someone
in need. You can give not only money, but your time, talents
and other resources as well. When you give from your heart,
I guarantee you will be blessed with abundance. It may
not happen right away, but you will reap what you sow. |
