🌿 The Essence of Creation and the Principle of Giving

Have you ever noticed that everything around us, when it comes to creation, carries the need to give of itself?
Look at nature—fruits never keep 100% of themselves.
Each one contains a seed, a small part of its structure, and it’s precisely that seed that allows the species to multiply.

This principle is woven into the fabric of creation.
It’s unchangeable. It’s eternal.

💞 The Principle of Surrender and Multiplication

To bring a child into the world—and by extension, a family—a woman must choose to give herself to a man.
In popular Brazilian slang, this is often referred to simply as "giving."
And when a man receives this permission from a woman, he becomes radiant, full of passion and desire.

And in that moment, the man also gives—he offers his part at the end of the act.

What I’m saying is this: for nature to receive, it must first give.
And the same law applies to us.

🔁 The Law of Giving Applied to Humanity

Every human being, without exception, the more they have and the more they conquer, the more they feel a desire—an almost undeniable need—to give part of what they’ve gained.
That desire is embedded in the soul.
It can’t be silenced.

That’s why people give to charity (which is important and necessary)—
but even then, many still don’t feel fully fulfilled.

❓ Why Doesn’t the Soul Feel Complete?

And why is that?
Why does the soul still feel like something is missing?

It’s simple:
What’s missing is the part that belongs to the Creator.

🙏 Does God Need Our Tithe?

Then the question arises:
Does God need anything?
Does He need our money?

The answer is: no and no.

So why does He ask for the tithe?

Because He wants relationship.
He wants to make a covenant.
He wants to be close to His creation.

🤝 Tithing: A Spiritual Covenant with the Creator

God has always longed to walk with His creation—
With us, who were made in His image and likeness.

Even though humanity lost that connection when it drifted away from Him…

We are made of body, soul, and spirit.
And if we pay attention, we’ll see we are more of what we don’t see than what we do see.
We are largely intangible, yet we lean heavily toward the physical.

💎 There Are Things Money Can’t Buy

Some values and experiences are far too deep to be touched by earthly wealth.

Even now, someone may be reading this from a stunning oceanfront apartment,
yet unable to truly enjoy such privilege.

As I said earlier:
There are things that wealth simply cannot reach.

🕊️ What Comes from the Creator Is Free and for Everyone

But the things that come from the Creator?
They are free—and within reach of every human being.

From the one in the luxurious penthouse
to the one living in a humble home where everything is lacking.

All it takes is accepting His invitation,
entering into a covenant with Him,
and returning what He asks: the first 10%.

📖 A Biblical Verse on Tithing

Honor the Lord
with your wealth
and with the firstfruits
of all your crops.
Proverbs 3:9

✅ Conclusion: The Spiritual Power of the Tithe

When we return what belongs to the God of Abraham (Jesus is His Name),
we honor what is holy.

And He pours out His blessings—physical, emotional, and spiritual—upon us.

He allows us to enjoy the good that money can provide,
and even more, He opens the door to the deep things
that riches can never touch.
