Give And Save As Much As You Can

My experience was that the less I spent on myself and the more I gave to others, the fuller of happiness and blessing did my soul become. ~Hudson Taylor

Live simply so that others may simply live. The reasoning makes sense. Content yourself by buying less expensive but equally quality things and delight the rest in giving. With giving, there's an immense pleasure. You'll find that the empty thrill of owning a diamond ring on your finger pales in comparison to the joy of handling a piece of bread to an orphan.

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. ~2 Corinthians 9:8

The more you give,  the more you receive. But don't just give in order to receive. It's important to give because it's right to give.

"Tithe if you love Jesus. Any idiot can honk!"

The Old Testament law of tithing, or giving 10% of your income, is a good guideline to follow. The New Testament challenges us to give with a cheerful heart. When you're cheerful, you may give more than 10%!

Make it a  habit.

Give as much as you can - If you think your budget won't allow it, try a small token. Give it regularly. And then make it grow as you start living simply.

Not only that, do yourself a favor - Save as much as you can. Learn how to save the right way.

If the goal is to give 10% to God, and it is, why not dignify yourself with an equal portion? Ten percent is yours to keep. ~Mary Hunt

Save at least 10% of your income. Sacrifice. Many of our needs are actually wants. Saving tames your I-Want-To-Have-It-Now monster.  It settles your spirit and makes you more confident about yourself and your future.

Do you have a formal savings program? Make a decision now to set aside 10% of your income, let it accumulate and never touch it except for real emergencies.

Giving and receiving a hundredfold blessing is a supernatural activity. Be generous. Life is a mirror. If you smile at the mirror, the mirror will smile back at you. If you frown, the mirror will frown back. The universe operates like a giant mirror. What you give, you receive.

Save.Pay yourself first - have a dignity for yourself. Save the right way. Save long-term for your future and save for emergencies to come.

The more you have saved, the more you have to give. If you give more, the more blessings you will receive to save. See, It always works both ways.
