Why We Don’t Give

Most of us want to be generous. We want to give to God. We want to help meet other people’s needs. We have good intentions. But fear keeps us from actually turning our intentions into actions. Fear of what might happen. Fear of what might break and need repair. Fear that we won’t be able to pay the bills. We allow our fear—not our faith—to dictate what we do. But when we give, we are actually giving God the green light to get involved in our bank account and to stretch more money out over the month. Because we can’t out give God.
