Instinctively we understand that giving and receiving are part of the circulation of energy, of emotions and of worldly goods. In order to receive there must also be a giving.
If you are planning on increasing your ability to receive God’s bounty, it may be helpful to make sure you are also of a giving nature. In order to receive, one must also give.
The giving can take many forms, but if one is expecting to receive money, the giving should also be in that form. Giving to your spiritual source, or where you receive spiritual nourishment is also called tithing.
Tithing as a spiritual practice shows your faith and trust in the givingness of God and your willingness to participate in the reciprocity of the universe.
