God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
It was the whole Trinity, which at the beginning of creation said, 'Let us make man' (Gen. 1:26). It was the whole Trinity again, which at the beginning of the Gospel seemed to say, 'Let us save man' (Mt. 3:16-17).
Giving is not motivated by trying to convince people how "smart" and "responsible" and "enjoyable" it is to give...(rather we are to be) savoring and seeking the kingdom of God. Only the greater treasures of the kingdom of God can free us from clinging to the competing treasures of this world. Only the deeper satisfaction that comes from spending ourselves for others can defeat the sinfully natural impulse to use others for our own ends. And giving up ourselves for others can take place only when our own security needs have already been met in the Christ who spent Himself for us (2 Cor. 8:9). Hence, rather than focusing merely on more effective ways to advertise the benefits and obligations of giving, we need to pray for the pouring out of God's Spirit on His people. Instead of bigger fund-raising campaigns, we need a bigger picture of God.
