“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”
2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV
Paul is saying to the Corinthian church about the giving to flow from their heart, not from a sense of religious duty. Let it spring up freely from the joy of giving—all because God loves hilarious generosity! Because God gave His all through His Son Jesus Christ, He loves us to give with an attitude of holding nothing back. God loves it when He sees us giving like He does and gives us the best, more than we can ask or imagine. It is all by faith which brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen. We cannot see God but we love Him and know that His Word is true. It pleases God for us to have faith in Him and to obey His Word. Let’s be cheerful givers, making the Lord merry with laughter as we give! Amen!
