It takes a miracle of God’s grace within, renewed daily, to make the giving to God motive gush forward. It cannot be commanded. When the Spirit life dominates, it will make you into a giver like the Philippians who begged with much begging, though they were poor, to participate with their money in spreading the Gospel of Christ. That’s why satan wants to get Christians back into will-worship and comparison of good works, so that they will stop faithing. This stops Christ from being formed in the heart by faith and stops spontaneous giving. So when the giving urge wanes, you get it back by finding a faith opportunity and acting on it. VF-0649. © Copyright 1989
