What are things that affect your attitude (both good and bad) when it comes to giving?

It’s sad that when they give to the wrong people, they pretend to be poor…. they manipulate the giver’s psychology…

Nam Lieu, your statement is so true. I volunteered at many food giveaways in my city. The ironic thing is that you start to see the same faces at every giveaway. It upsetted me because I thought the same people were preventing someone else from be blessed also. As you said, “giving to the wrong people.” But I had to learn that all I’m responsible for is doing my part by giving. God will do His. This helped my bad attitude.

Thank you very much

I love to give! I think everybody does, but I think everybody has that thought in the back of their head how much of it does go to the Needy, and how much of it does go to the CEOs, etc. a lot of times I have to look into charities to figure that out. And I think that is sad.

My attitude goes off what the recipients attitude. If they show appreciation it makes it feel good. If they are just blah it makes it harder to continue to give to them

We need to have good attitude of what to give and let be happy of doing for the Lord Jesus.

I sometimes find it harder to give as I should when finances are tight. Other times I feel pressured to give simply because it is expected of me to do so. Sometimes how my day is going also affects my attitude towards giving. I know better than to be stingy but I’m always frugal. Giving makes me want to give more. If I am in a happy place and not stressed out then I tend to want to be a better giver. So the day-to-day issues of real life actually impact my attitude when it comes to my giving.
