Malaysians are in the midst of filing their Return Form for Income Tax, I'm always sakit hati during this time. This round, I'm put on a test. It's related to tithing, something I just learned/realized since last Tuesday, and this topic has been on my mind since then ...like I medidate on it, padahal - I should be medidate on word of god, His verses ....but I went to the wrong path pula...
This is going to be extremely hard for me. I do donations here and there, adopted orphan by sponsoring her yearly fees.....But, compared to the tithe He's expecting, I realized I'm like an ant. To me, the art of Giving especially tithe - is a noble task, I'm struggling extremely hard to take my first move. It is now I realized how materialistic I am, and how important I value my hard earned money, I'm a kindergarden kid in term of mastering the art of Giving ....without expecting anything in return, but investing for eternity. Believe it or not, I heard His words, He's been sending messages to me since Tuesday ..... what a challenge, this is like a decision to change job or to buy a house... And I truly have the 'hurt' and 'sakit hati' part .... really really really heart sore lor ....of course, He will guide me through this, I suppose another practice on 'see open'. 'see open' sound like giving up, let go...for tithing, I think one has to really wanting to do it, in order to fulfil the main purposes ....
Today again, His word to me is to Give with the right attitudes :
1. Give willingly
2. Give joyfully
3. Give generously
4. Give expectantly
'Giving is the antidote to Materialism'
'Giving strengthens my faith' ......
Truly a difficult test ......
