Sometimes, when giving seems impossible, it can be empowering to remember the many ways God describes the benefits of giving.

You can’t outgive God: “‘Bring the tenth part into the store-house, so that there may be food in My house. Test Me in this,’ says the Lord of All. ‘See if I will not then open the windows of heaven and pour out good things for you until there is no more need.’” (Malachi 3:10)
Taking care of others is an investment in your own life: “Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice.” (Psalm 112:5)
Generosity is more than just monetary: “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” (Proverbs 11:25)
