We heard of a man and woman who gave a sizeable contribution to the church to honor the memory of their son who lost his life in the war. When the announcement was made of the generous donation, a woman whispered to her husband, "Let's give the same amount for our boy!" Her husband said, "What are you talking about? Our son wasn't killed." "That's just the point," she said. "Let's give it as an expression of our gratitude to God for sparing his life!"
First, give yourself to God. You may be sure he'll look after what is his.
He gives twice who gives quickly. Italian proverb
You have never really lived until you've done something for somebody who can never repay you.
Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting.
He who gives when he is asked has waited too long.
The millionaires in eternity are the givers in time.
The best thing you can give someone is a chance.
If you are not generous with a meager income, you will never be generous with abundance.
Harold Nye
You only keep what you give away. R. E. Phillips
Do your giving while you're living, so you're knowing where it's going.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
A gift, though small, is welcome. -- Greek proverb
A hospital visitor saw a nurse tending to the sores of a leprosy patient, and said, "I'd never do that for a million dollars!" The nurse answered, "Neither would I. But I do it for Jesus for nothing."
Baylor University is a fine institution in Beaumont, Texas. The Christian who gave the money for building that school later lost all his property. Men of the world asked him, "Don't you wish you had the money back that you put into that school?" He replied, "Not at all. It is all that I have saved. If I had kept that money, I would have lost it too. I am thankful that I gave that building when I did."
Plenty of people are willing to give God credit, yet few are willing to give Him cash.
Let us give up our work, our plans, ourselves, our lives, our loved ones, our influence, our all, right into God's hand; and then, when we have given all to Him, there will be nothing left for us to be troubled about. -- Hudson Taylor
If a man's religion does not affect his use of money, that man's religion is vain. -- Hugh Martin
