"Give and it shall be given unto you" is God's economic principle found in Mark 6:38. Also in 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 describes God's principle about money and finances - "he that soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly. He that soweth bountifully, shall also reap bountifully".
In short, God requires us to GIVE in order for us to receive God's blessings. The world practice otherwise, RECEIVE in order to have. Do you practice God's economic principle in your life?

There are a few ways that I practice. Every time I spend for someone other than me,I say to myself that for every penny I spend I receive two. The other way is on myLot itself. No matter what or who it is,I mark + for every response.Because every human is unique and all that comes from him would also be unique.And charity begins at home !

My favorite verse about this topic is found in Malachi 3:10
"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it."
Amen!

Yes, I do give, but the required tithings I dont follow. I give what I can give and not what I am supposed to give.

Acts 20:35 tell us : "Greater Happiness in Giving". Sometimes, many will abuse your kindness. If they know yo are polite and kind they ask help onto you and repeated many times even you are not capable to give. This will always happen also to some beggars that are dependent on asking help day by day. It's annoying to see them everyday with their companion a man healthier than me. They make this as a business not for their daily needs.
