If it's the season for giving, then is everyone taking?

Do you feel you're given something when you give? Or do you feel taken from when you give?

If giving means someone else is taking and taking from someone means you've been given to

Then is everyone a taker?
 
When I give I give joyfully and expect nor desire anything in return, if one feels like they have been taken from when giving then they are not giving with the right heart.

The reason for the giving and the heart behind it is what makes the difference classifying as a giver or taker doesn't mean anything

It shouldn't.
 
I just give freely because i know what it's like to not have... I was given freely, so freely i give without having any expectations of receiving anything...I remember when i was about 7 my mom got upset at me because i donated all of my money to one of those meals for hungry kids things instead of buying the 2 action figures i wanted..but yea.. its not about getting stuff, its about who we serve.

in the same boat buddy for the longest time my mom would hold my money because I would give it all away lol
 
Be led by the Lord in your giving----don't have a grasping spirit---- Love, but discern....
 
God is the original giver---- before the foundations of the world Christ died for us---- when I got saved out drugs ect. --- one of the first things I wanted to do was give...
