Heart motives

Today I am wrestling with myself and my true heart motives. I have visitors coming and I am deciding if the amount I spend on them should come out of my giving budget. I am wondering if I am trusting in the Lord's provision as I have not received gifts in a while from Him. But deep in my heart I know this can not be my motive to give. God is the giver of all perfect gifts and I need only trust in Him to meet my needs. He also does beyond that and meets my desires also. This is something I must pray over. It does fall under the gift of hospitality. Lord, show me the needs you have for me, the priorities. Let your Holy Spirit guide and I honor what all belongs to you anyways. Heal my heart of any greed motives. Let my security lie with you in this journey and love like you love.
