Giving is a form of worship, and it is intrinsically tied to your faith. You are either a person who would hold something back from God or a person who has been changed by Him and gives without coercion. Don't get puffed up in pride over your giving. God wants you to give with your heart and to have an authentic relationship with Him. God will bless you in intangible ways, and He will not forsake you. VF-2331
