Three Stages in Giving

THERE are three stages in giving: the first where a person gives without feeling it, because he gives a little when asked, and has no interest in it. In the second, the person gives from a sense of duty, and so as to feel it. In the third, he gives and does not feel it, because it is from the heart, and he realizes that he is giving, not of his own, but of the Lord's, that proportion which indicates a recognition that all belongs to God, and he knows he will not suffer for it.
