When we give under compulsion we might obey the law, but miss the intent. God does not need our stuff.

Examine your life – skills, possessions, time, relationships, opportunities, etc… — what do you have to contribute to God’s work?

We serve a God who wastes nothing.

more than the sacrifice behind our gift

Exodus 35:34 -God gave these gifts so that the whole community of God's people could experience God's purposes for them through what they made. derekdemars.com/2019/02/06/807/

God will see to it that we have all we need to get the job done.

he does want us to be faithful stewards of what he’s given us. He doesn’t force us to give, but he invites us to.
