A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. (Psalm 112:5)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. (Matthew 10:8)

Don't give just for convenience

The act of giving in Christian circles has become mechanical, with the belief that it is a way to manipulate God to provide for our materialistic motives. This is a distorted and ugly view of generosity, and it should come from the heart, not as a way to manipulate God. Giving should be a natural part of our being, like how Jesus embodied healing and grace without effort.
