The thought behind the quote
Some people mistakingly believe that God wants them to give up “things” for Him and that somehow this is a spiritual benchmark for spiritual maturity.
Everything you have, God has given you...including the breath you breathe! God doesn’t want you to give up your breath for Him! He wants you to USE your breath to glorify Him!
The Bible is clear: “But you shall remember [with profound respect] the LORD your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore (solemnly promised) to your fathers, as it is this day.” DEUTERONOMY 8:18 AMP

God doesn’t need us to give up what He has given us the POWER to get! He wants you to USE whatever He has given you to bring glory to Him...our breath, our money, our lives!
“Whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus [and in dependence on Him], giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
"Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men, knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve.” COLOSSIANS 3:17, 23-24 AMP
