Cheerful Giving! No I am not asking everyone to open up the wallet and give it up. I am asking us to open up our hearts and give it up. Yes I recognize there are many different entities that would desire to monopolize our lives and many times stress comes when we feel it impossible to complete the task tugging at our schedule. Well, what is the answer? Cloning! I do not think so. What are the roles God has called me to? What are the priorities He would assign to my life?
When we discover these roles and goals we may then give ourselves to the plan of God, cheerfully, not grudgingly or of necessity. And God is able to make all grace abound toward us, that we, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have abundance for every good work. These are from 2 Corinthians 9:7-8. Verse 6 says, “He who sows sparingly, will reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7so let each give as he purposes in his heart.” Our heart must be pure in purpose and pure in acting upon said purpose. Then we will see our “gifts” multiplied to completing every good work.
