God doesn`t need money. However, God asks you to learn to give--not because He needs your money, but because He wants you to learn to trust Him and to let go of your selfishness. That is perhaps one reason why He implemented tithing.

You can never out-give God. If you give to God, He will honor it. It is a step of faith and it shows your willingness to let go of something that`s usually very dear to most people--money. It is a way of letting go of our selfishness. It is a way of being free, and watching God bless us in unusual ways.

God does want you to learn to surrender all your belongings to Him, though, so that He can guide you as to how best use them for His glory, and for your own good. But He is a gentle God and will give you plenty of opportunities to grow in yielding your possessions to Him more and more as you grow in faith.

NOTE--yielding your possessions to God does not necessarily mean that you won`t have possessions.  It simply means that you are aware that He is the one who allowed you to have them, and you want Him to be the one to show you how to use them or what to do with them.
