Jordan - Genesis 28

"You only get what you give" is a song by the New Radicals and jumped into my head when I read chapter 28. But as soon as I thought of it, I realized it was wrong.  God already gave us the world and gave us his Son to die for our sins.

Maybe the New Radicals had it backwards.  Should it be, "you only give what you get?"  Give 10% only because you received 100%.  But that doesn't really sound right either.  And yet, Jacob basically says that he will give if he receives what God has promised.  But what really makes people give?  Is it because they feel rich, or thankful, or is there something else that drives people to give back to God?
