Good day guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you had a great day. Let's move to today's article.

If we give, God will give back to us using the same measure we use to give.

There are a number of reasons why you should give even if you don't hear anything back from the giver or even if you never hear his name mentioned after you have given.

In this time of economic uncertainty, it is important to remember that the more we give, the more God will give back to us using the same measure we use to give.

If we give, God will surely reward us in the same measure we gave. Nevertheless, He'll still ensure to give you a hundred times more than you gave . It is not as though God needs anything from us, yet he is pleased when we give to others. These are not simply statements that I am sharing with you, they are truths.

This is the power of giving; it is the divine law of the universe.

Many people find it hard to give because of the uncertainty that the economy holds and the little resources we have at our disposal. If you do not give, you should not expect anything to be given back to you. The measure of our giving is determined by the heart of the giver, that's how God determines it.

Giving is a way of life for many people. There are those who give because it is the season for giving and there are some who give without expecting a reward in return. It is moral to give expecting nothing in return but when you give, do you really expect nothing to happen?

The outcome of generosity is never a sure thing. When we plan to be generous, we have to have the mindset that we may receive less in return but this will not deter us from giving. This is when we are putting God first and not our own selfish intentions.

When we lose sight of what the purpose of giving is and why we give, then we might as well stop giving because the more we do it with wrong motive, the less likely we will receive something in return.

When we think of giving, we tend to think in terms of monetary gifts. The most common type of giving, in this respect, is donating to a charitable cause. In fact, the whole purpose behind giving is to provide for the common good. Yet, giving doesn't necessarily have to be about money. To be sure, giving can take other forms as well.

The fact is that people give all the time. And it's important to realize that the act of giving can have a positive impact for both the giver and receiver.

One of the things that I have learned over the years is that when I am kind to, considerate towards and compassionate with others, I very often receive similar feelings and treatment in return.

This might seem almost like a cliche, or a simple theory that you never really get around to putting into practice.  This is true for most people, except for those who consistently and regularly display such a quality of goodness and kindness.  In fact, many people would say that we are only kind or generous because it makes us feel good to help others.

It is not even close to the mark.  The real purpose of showing kindness to others is not so much that it makes us feel good, but that it necessarily has the effect of making them feel good as well.  When we are kind to someone who we have injured or offended, who is much less fortunate than us financially or otherwise, or when we help someone who needs it, we are also often doing this for ourselves by creating a positive feeling within ourselves which then transfers outwardly through our actions and our interactions with others.

Thanks for reading through. I hope you loved it.
