A person with the motivational gift of giving wants to use financial resources wisely in order to give to meet the needs of others. A giver is usually wise with their resources, notices overlooked needs and maintains a budget.

 

 

When Jesus called Matthew to become a disciple, Matthew immediately gave up his lucrative job, that of being a tax collector for the Romans. “As Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him”(Matthew 9:9). Givers often avoid the limelight, so it is not surprising that even in the Gospel written by Matthew we find very little personal information about him.
