I’m afraid that if I give more, I won’t have enough to meet my own needs.

The release of “Joy Giving” has invited deep and thoughtful questions from givers. Jarod from South Africa writes, “How do I get over the fear of lack and not being able to pay bills if I give a certain amount when it comes to giving?”

Jarod goes on to say, “My heart is the issue. How do I open my heart to being generous and more considerate of others than of myself?”

Even as he wrestles with his own heart, Jarod shared this story from his own life:

Adelia wrote from Indonesia this month, asking, “How do I determine the ministry that God wants me to give to?” She’s prayed and determined what the right lifestyle is. She’s cared for the needs of her immediate family and given generously to her local church. But she wants to go beyond.

What are the mistakes that people make when they first become wealthy and start giving larger gifts? How can I avoid these?

The release of “Joy Giving” has invited deep and thoughtful questions from givers. Two givers have recently come into large amounts of wealth and emailed to ask the question above.
