We need, above all, to see giving as a part of our spiritual life. We must recognize that,like [[prayer]], [[fasting]], [[Scripture]] reading, etc., giving is something which contributes to our growth in God's image and likeness. When we do this we not only grow personally, but we provide our Church with the resources necessary to fulfill the mission which Christ has created it to perform.
