admin Most of us have been taught to have the desire to do things for other people, but sometimes we might not have genuine intentions. If you’re giving a gift to someone, is it because you feel you have to or is it because you truly want to? You need to ask yourself:
• Do I genuinely care enough about this person to spend money for a gift—no matter the amount?
• Are my intentions authentic, well-intentioned and with love?
• Can I afford this gift now, or would lending a helping hand of their choice be the ‘perfect’ gift?
• Due to a rift with this person am I willing to ‘lovingly’ give a gift or do I need to resolve the rift first?
When you give from your heart, your gifts will be authentic, well intentioned and filled with love.

It’s so true… A lot of people give just because they “feel” they have to. If you’re going to give you need to do it genuinely. And most the time the other person knows how you feel about it, whether you want to believe it or not.
Great post.
