Lessons on Giving

Today's Reading:
2 Corinthians 9-10

In chapter 9 of today's reading, Paul gives us some valuable, yet practical tips to consider when giving to others and especially the ministry of God Himself on this earth:

1) We are to give generously and not grudgingly (9:5, 6).
2) We are not to give under compulsion (9:7).
3) We are to decide ourselves, how much we will give (9:7).
4) We are to give cheerfully (9:7).
5) We are to not worry about what we might go without as a result of our giving, but rather
trust in God's grace to provide for our needs (9:8-10).

What observations have you made on the subject of giving that could be added to this list (please post in comments)?
