GIVE YOUR ALL TO GOD
One of the things which touches the heart of God is giving. God created everything and He is not impressed by what we give Him but the kind of heart with which we give. He loves a cheerful giver, the one who willingly give and not with regret or under compulsion.

Each of you must give what you have decided in your heart, not with regret or under compulsion, since God loves a cheerful giver. Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work. 2 Corinthians 9:7-8
I love what the next verse says, "God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you". This is so powerful!. That should tell you God needs nothing from us but to receive from us and multiply it for us.
God blesses whatever he takes from us and blesses it so that it overflows for us. Our duty is to give to Him whatever he requires from us. We are to give but not just giving anything but our all to Him.
A sincere person whose heart is filled with the love of God will not withhold anything from God for He knows that everything he owns were all given by God and given back to Him will mean nothing.
Giving should be based on our love for God and anything we want to give should not be measured in commercial value but the degree of the our love for God and His work.
If love is the reason why we want to give then we will give "OUR ALL" to God. While I was reading my Bible a came across a Scripture that speaks so well about how we should give
The Widows Mite
Now Jesus looked up and saw rich people dropping their gifts into the offering box. Then he saw a destitute widow drop in two small copper coins. He said, “I tell you with certainty, this destitute widow has dropped in more than all of them. because all the others contributed to the offering out of their surplus, but she, in her poverty, dropped in everything she had to live on.” Luke 21:1-4

Jesus wasn't impressed by what the rich people gave because they out of their abundance, He was however moved and was so impressed by what the widows gave.
He considered that the widow gave more than anyone else, for she measured the gift not by its commercial value but by the degree of her love for God and His work. This is the kind of heart God is looking for in His kingdom.
God doesn't want part of us but "OUR ALL", every little thing that is of value to us. He wants our body, money, time and any material things we have. When it comes to given we shouldn't measure before giving, we should give us we are moved by love and passion.
You are right here "If love is the reason why we want to give then we will give "OUR ALL" to God. While I was reading my Bible a came across a Scripture that speaks so well about how we should give" we us Christians of one body should learn how to do that.

What Christians need to know is that is there any one who has given God something and was not replaced. We need to give out of love in order to be blessed.
