Be A Cheerful Giver


Now this I say; he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:6-7

We hear this scripture attached to the idea of financially supporting a church, but that is not all that it implies.  Even if we do not offer much in the way of financial support for the Kingdom of God, we can cheerfully work for God by ministering to those who are hurting. 

We are called be a cheerful giver, and that implies more than opening up our wallets.  It involves opening up our hearts.
