jesus taught very often that we should care enough out other peoples needs to give and help if we have anything ourselves to share. We’re supposed to give according to our ability to those who simply don’t have enough, sometimes we’re in that boat other times we have plenty
I think we shouldn’t think giving is somehow how we earn anything but when we learn to actually have compassion on that person who is in need when we see it and have the capability of helping them even if it means we need to sacrifice some of our own desires or wants to help the other persons needs
Greed is a spirit we can’t live by , but compassion and actively doing good for someone in need of some kind maybe not even money maybe time , friendship , someone to comfort or help them through a tough time
but to help by maybe giving or donating clothes and things is a good thing and should always be encouraged
to actually go through life looking for someone to share a blessing with who really Needs the help is the best way to share Jesus name and word with people. After all he teaches us to help each other above most everything he teaches
I think if we really learn to be a cheerful giver in his name it becomes a blessing in multiple ways not simple monitary or temporal but it just blesses the heart when you help Someone you actually care about even if you don’t know them we can be compassionate and see they are cold and hungry and don’t have anything or other situations where it’s obvious
we’re supposed to look and meet need wherever we can in Jesus name it blesses everyone involved

Some like to say that the poor have no one to blame but themselves and that helping them would only be enabling them to remain poor. I don't buy it for a minute. We're supposed to lose this life, so we can gain it. It's called dying to self.
Take Up Your Cross
24Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. 25For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?…" - Matthew 16:24-26

amen as we learn the gospel it will change us at the core about not only the subject of giving but it delves into the depths of our lives and minds and hearts and really we give up things we think are something but he makes us way better and more fulfilled as our ways conform to his

He provides what I need, when I need it. When I was a younger, naive believer, I got taken in by that prosperity rubbish, but now I see it for what it is. I'm saddened when I see how many are still duped by it. Selfish ambition has no place in the church!
God is not a vending machine, or a formula that we can manipulate. He is exactly who I need Him to be...He is my Father!
