Luke 6:38

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom.  For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.  

Our heart is at the center of our giving.  If we have a giving issue, we have a heart issue, and it isn’t just about our finances.  Giving covers everything in our daily lives, from our interactions with people to our interactions with God.  If we want more friends, we have to be friendly.  If we want more kindness, we have to be kind ourselves.  Many times, what we need most is what we are withholding.
