True generosity flows from heart transformation, not financial obligation. The Bible presents powerful contrasts between those who encounter Jesus and respond with open hearts versus those who cling to their possessions. Zacchaeus, despite being a despised tax collector, immediately offered half his wealth to the poor after Jesus invited himself to dinner - not because Jesus demanded it, but because grace transformed his perspective. Meanwhile, the rich young ruler walked away sad when asked to sell everything, choosing comfort over commitment.Jesus taught that giving reveals the true condition of our hearts and our understanding of God as our source. The widow's two coins were worth more than the large gifts of the wealthy because she gave everything while they gave from surplus. This distinction separates true giving from mere tipping - one flows from trust in God's provision while the other operates from leftover abundance. Our giving patterns reveal whether we truly believe God is our provider or if we're just paying religious dues.The focus shouldn't be on percentages or amounts but on cultivating a heart that recognizes God's ownership of everything. When we understand that all we have belongs to Him, generous giving becomes the natural response of a transformed life. The question isn't whether God needs our money - He doesn't. The question is whether we want to participate in His kingdom work or miss out on the blessing of partnership with Him.🌐 Websitehttps://theshed.church📘 Facebook / theshedatprovence 📷 Instagram / theshed.church 🎵 TikTok / theshed.church 📺 YouTube / @theshedatprovence
