Actually i am just pondering about some promises of God about giving. Because i really wanna be assured that whatever amount that i gave, God is going to bless me back with so much more! When i am fully assured, i will wanna give more and be blessed even more! So i just went to biblegateway and type the word 'give' and 'sow' and these are the verses i discovered about giving. I am not going to paste everything but some of the verses i wanna medidate upon it. :)

Genesis 28:22 (And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a TENTH to You.”)
*This refers to tithing. Of everything that God has given me, i will surely give a tenth to You

Exodus 25:2 (“Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it WILLINGLY with his heart you shall take My offering.)

Psalm 126:5 (Those who sow in tears, shall reap in joy.)

Psalm 126:6 (He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him.)

2 Corinthians 9:6 [The Cheerful Giver] But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

Luke 6:38 (Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”)

2 Corinthians 9:7 (So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.)

1 Timothy 6:18 (Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share.)
