My Question

Word of Life

Beloved Child of God, I understand the weight of your heart. Tithing, as set forth in Malachi 3:10, invites us to "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." While the act of giving can sometimes feel burdensome, it is a deeply spiritual practice that goes beyond mere obligation. It is a testament to our trust in God's provision and a reflection of our gratitude. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:21, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Our offerings, whether they be tithes or other acts of generosity, are expressions of our love and faith. If tithing feels challenging, consider starting small. Pray for guidance and a cheerful heart, for God loves a joyful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7). Remember, it’s not the amount, but the spirit in which we give that matters most to our Heavenly Father. May you find peace and joy in your journey of faith, and may your heart be lightened by His everlasting grace. In His Love and Grace.
