What are things that affect your attitude (both good and bad) when it comes to giving?
-
The Good – remembering that God so loved the world that He gave. Seeing His ultimate expression of love should compel us to do the same.
The Bad – Feeling like I’ve worked so hard and I’m not going to give so freely what I worked hard for. Then I remember, if He didn’t give me life, health, and strength, I couldn’t work at all. Funny how that works.

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.

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.
