Bible Note: hello kisha, Good points. Remember too that it is all that we are blessed with that we are to give back to God from. Not just our money, but our time and other resources. Regarding the return blessing, I have always thought of it like this. I do give "expecting" to get back because God promises this and He also says "test me" on this issue. I agree with you on the motivation issue. If my motivation for giving is because I am expecting something back, then I am giving with the wrong motivation. We should give because we are commanded, we are thankful, we recognize that we only have what God has provided in the first place, we want to see God's plan furthered, etc. But when God promises something, we should expect it, this includes blessings.
