- Giving is more than something you do, it is somebody you are. Being a Giver develops a mentality of prosperity, because the more you give, the more you receive. It is an antidote against scarcity, and every time you give, you overcome a poverty mentality that says "I don't have enough!" When we give, we are the most like God, and we move ourselves away from needing a miracle, to being miracle workers. It is more blessed to give than to receive, not just because Jesus said so, but because our lives become infallible proofs of God opening the windows of heaven over our lives, so that His blessing can flow to others because of our giving.
