Philippians 4:15-17

15 As you know, you Philippians were the only ones who gave me financial help
when I brought you the Good News and then traveled on from Macedonia.
No other church did this.
16 Even when I was in Thessalonica you sent help more than once.
17 I don't say this because I want a gift from you.
What I want is for you to receive a well-earned reward because of your kindness.
(NLT)

We give not to bring notice to ourselves but to bring honor to God by supplying financial help to those doing the work of the ministry. We are to give as God has given to us. If we are unwilling to give God will have someone else who will. God wants to use you to bring honor and glory to Himself. He wants you to be a participant not a spectator. Just think of the honor God bestows upon us to use us to bring Him glory. God is thinking of you. God is offering you an opportunity to serve, to witness, to love, to teach or to pray so that we may bring Him glory and magnify His name. We are to do all things with glad and joyful hearts knowing that our God and Lord Jesus Christ is being up lifted with glory and honor. If we do all that God wants us to do with a pure and humble heart God will reward you because of your kindness and obedience.
