I'm especially heartened when I see the younger ones tithe their pocket money, even if it just amounts to a few cents; we all started small.
The other big encouragement for me is when people tithe out of their blessing and abundance. These are typically huge amounts that come at opportune times. What's worth remembering is that these generous people all started giving when they were receiving far smaller amounts, but they are now equally faithful to God in giving when they are blessed with much more.
After all, we are reminded to emulate the widow with two copper coins, not the Pharisee who gave ostentatiously out of his largesse.
