I define sacrificial giving as a change I can make in order to give more to others and less to myself. Not all sacrifice involves money, but money is a powerful resource as well as a tangible indicator of our own heart. Matthew 6:21 (NIV) says "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
When giving sacrificially, it is helpful to have a measurable goal. Instead of thinking of a lump sum (even if you intend to give one large gift), try to think in a monthly or weekly time frame. For example, if you want to set a goal of giving $600 each year to your church or favorite charity, focus on saving (or making an extra) $50 a month.
