2nd Corinthians 9:7 "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: God loveth a cheerful giver." .
Often times we the professed of God tend to equate giving as the material things of this world. We sometimes think of blessings as only material gifts or the empty things of this world. There are many blessing we receive daily that are neither material or of this world. Let us remember to be cheerful givers of the heavenly things as well as the earthy stuff.
God loves a cheerful giver, and believe me there are times when the giving of the worldly and earthly gifts are truly needed. We must be careful not to just limit our giving to the things stuff and material blessing we have. we should also cheerfully give of our selves, our time, and the surrender of our lives that His will might be done in and with our lives. Let us cheerfully give of our study time that we might rightfully divide the word of truth. Let us cheerfully give to Sunday school and bible study that we might be better example to those who follow us. Let us cheerfully lay down our life, denying ones self, to become a living sacrifice that a lost soul might be saved.
God wants us to cheerfully want Him and His way, not because we are fearful of hell but because we desire to be with Him in heaven. Let us be cheerful givers to Him, of Him and for Him that all might be saved.
