It is a wonderful opportunity to let your generosity shine.

Did you know that God says more about money including giving and generosity than any other topic in the Bible. There are more verses in the Bible on the topic of money than any other.
Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver -2 Corinthians 9:7
If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? – 1 John 3:17

And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury.
And He saw a poor widow putting in two small copper coins. And He said, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;
for they all out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on.”
–Luke 21:1-4
Then He said to them, “Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.” -Luke 12:15
