GIVE TO NEW HOPE
God doesn’t need your money - He’s after your heart. It's a topic that Jesus talked about more than prayer or salvation - so it's important. God knew we would love money because of what we think it provides, but He’s our provider. God loves a cheerful giver. We "get to give", not "give to get" - meaning we don’t give thinking “God I’m giving this to you so you will.. (fill in the blank).” It's a blessing to have anything to give, so give what God tells you to give. It's not about the amount, it's about your heart.
