Some people think God is like a pop machine. If you put the money in, then the pop comes out. (Give, then receive) That's not how our God operates at all. Imagine walking up to a pop machine and the pop is already out ready to take. You take it, you can drink it and then you can put the money in the machine when you are thankful for the pop. That is how our God operates. He hands you the gift free first, then once you realize what He gave you, you become so grateful that all you want to do is give back.
It is not do your part first then come to God. It's come to God first and receive what He has for you. When your really receive His gift it will naturally change your life and you'll naturally give back. Receive, then give!
