There is a perfectly good reason we choose not to live and give generously. It makes sense to us but goes against the way God sees things and how He wants us to see things. It’s something no one teaches us to think; we just intuitive assume it to be true. It’s what makes us cautious and leads us into stingy behavior. It’s all about how you choose to see what you have, what you don’t have, and what you stand to lose or gain through your generosity. We overestimate the value of what we have/hold in our hands (possessions) and we underestimate what God can/will put in our hands because of our generosity. When we discover this truth that God wants us to see, it sets us free to be the generous people He created us to be reflecting His heart to the world and people around us.
