I believe that the four principles of giving that guide our generosity are 1,prioritizing giving, 2,giving proportionately, 3,giving sacrificially, and 4,giving cheerfully. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
[6]But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
[7]Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
[8]And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. When we give generously and sacrificially, it’s not because God needs anything, but because we want to show our love for him. Giving is an expression of obedience, gratitude, trust, and increasing joy. God seeks out and recognizes those who gives,the Bible says he loves it and he rewards our giving.. The character of Abraham in the area of sacrificial giving we see that Abraham’s faith was tested when the Lord asked him to sacrifice Isaac on an altar. Abraham had a strong faith in God’s earlier promise that he would have many descendants, so he set out to prepare an altar and kill his only son. Abraham displayed this willingness to obey God unconditionally. At the last moment, an angel stopped Abraham from sacrificing his son that moment, God provided a ram caught in a thicket to be sacrificed in place of Isaac. This act of provision led Abraham to name the place Jehovah-Jireh, which means The Lord Will Provide (Genesis 22:14). This name encapsulates the essence of tGod’s provision in our greatest time of need.

And God honoured Abraham obedience and kept to all he promised him and his decendants such that Iaac grew up and follow God And guess what? He had children, and then they had children, and then they had children…
As years passed, the number of Abraham’s descendants became so many that they were as difficult to count as the number of the sand. To be able to give is a great feeling and a great blessing. To be able to increase our give sacrificially, regardless of the reasons, is even a greater blessing.
