Ron Taylor, communications manager for LDS Philanthropies, says, "Motivation for giving comes from a wide variety of reasons, but when we follow the Spirit's promptings to give, we find great joy and spiritual strength in doing so. At the same time, the Lord uses those who consistently give as a channel to bless the lives of others. He blesses them with an abundance—whatever that may be. All are edified. It's a wonderful partnership with the Lord."
