mmm, I love the encouragement to give, but not for the reasons suggested. I want to give because it meets my beautiful human need to contribute to others. It is the act of giving, in and of itself, that feeds me. If I give because I fear a hand my throat or because I want others to give back to me, I am no longer joyful about my giving, but fearful or expectant.
