2. Giving Shows Our Love For God
King Benjamin stated the following:
And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God. (Mosiah 2:17)
It is important to remember that we do not give because God needs the money. We give to show the world (and ourselves) that we love Him. Sister Carol B. Thomas gave the following comment:
Sacrifice is an amazing principle. As we willingly give our time, talents, and all that we possess, it becomes one of our truest forms of worship. It can develop within us a profound love for each other and our Savior, Jesus Christ. (“Sacrifice: An Eternal Investment,” Ensign, May 2001, 63)
I like the idea that willingly giving is one of the truest forms of worship.
