Now mthe LORD said [1] to Abram, “Go from your country [2] and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2 nAnd I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 oI will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and pin you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” [3]

The Promise of Blessing
Genesis 12:1-3
God says to Abraham:
"I will bless you"
&
"you shall be a blessing"
The problem was not/is not Gods blessing;
Its the fickle human. God Himself is the blessing.

Right reasons to give:
A) because its what God expects
B) because its what God has modeled
4) What you sow is what you will reap.
