Give voluntarily. When we catch a vision of God's grace, we will give beyond our duty.

As you go through life, don’t let your feelings-real as they are-invalidate your need to let the truth of God’s words guide your thinking. Remember that the path to your heart travels through your mind. Truth matters.
