Giving should come from the heart and not because Abel gave so I have to give. Giving is a sacrifice, which is between you and God when u start to tell people what u did it is no more giving but bragging. When Jesus healed the 10 lepers He told them to go and show themselves to the priest and not go tell the priest i Jesus healed u. Another example Peter and John with the man at the beautiful gate, when Peter commanded him to rise and walk he didn't say go tell people it is me. Your good deeds would speak volumes even in your absence. One principle I know is no matter how much u give u can never lack. We are in the Christmas season and the end of the year , I urge everyone to touch a life before this year runs out.
