In writing about giving, Paul revealed that giving to those in need stems from giving ourselves to God. It's not just something we should do, it's something we should want to do.
When we realize that all that we have comes from God, the natural reaction is to share with those in need when we are blessed with an abundance. When we all live by this principle, everyone's needs are met. Today may be your turn to give to someone in need and tomorrow you may be the one in need. Even so, giving in the hopes of getting something back one day should not be our motivation - love should be reason enough.
