Struggles in Giving

What are your views about charity? Some Christians think that there are too many people in need that even if we give, our gifts are too little and cannot help much. But, my thinking is to let God multiply the gifts. If everyone thinks that our giving is too little and chooses not to give, then no one will receive any gifts and help from others.

Then some Christians decided to give but do not know which organization to give to. Also, there are situations in which the gifts go into selfish hands and the gifts do not reach the needy but to the greedy. My guiding principle to address the former struggle is that I give to the organization that God has given me the opportunity to associate with and/or given me the burden to give. As for the latter struggle, I believe in the bible verse from Galatians 6:7 "A man reaps what he sows." I believe that if what I gave fell into a thief, the thief will reap bad fruits and God will judge and punish the thief. So, I could continue to happily give, trusting that God will multiply the gifts and punish those who stole.

Galatians 6:8 to 10 continues to encourage believers to persevere in doing good and to trust God that people who sows bad crops will reap destruction and those who sows good crops will reap eternal life.

Gal 6:8 to 10
8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

Actually, these bible verses are not from my bible reading today. But, I see a lot of need in this world and I know God has a big and charitable heart. If God is calling you to give today, and you are experiencing some struggles internally to give, I pray that this sharing may help to resolve some of your issues about giving. Also, I pray that you may experience God's pleasure in your giving.
