       Another heart check we can perform is by considering how much we give to others, or, if we have something someone else needs, are we willing to give it to them? I know, this second part is a tall order. Let’s focus on the first part. If we consider our money, every which way it goes, how much do we find that we actually give to others? How much is given to charity? What about the church? Hopefully the church gets something. Your pastors deserve it. There used to be this thing called a tithe. People would give ten percept of their income to their church. Some people still do this. The point is that by evaluating our giving, we can determine where our hearts are at, particularly in how much we value our possessions. I will say that I believe that the more we give, the less we miss it. I’ve seen God provide in big ways for people who have wanted to give even when they didn’t feel like they had the money to do so. God is watching; he loves cheerful givers.
