Going to church, and tithing is accepting that your life is not your own but simply that your life is a gift from God. And that we should live by faith.

That' is the hardest thing in my life.

That life is not simply seeing my own pleasures, giving in to my own desires. I can be so selfish, thinking that the money I have, belongs to me. Thinking that I earned this all, I deserve this. Yet, in the end in all the complexities I simply have to live by faith. But being willing to listen to what God has in store for you. How can a man understand the will of God.

Fighting against my own pride, my own greed, my own lusts.
