You admire those who are generous, who give freely from their abundance. Does this describe you? For money and possessions are valuable, and what you give away no longer belongs to you.
Yet I give you guidelines for giving, not only in the amount, but also in the attitude you should have toward it. I tell you not to give grudgingly or of necessity. I am a cheerful giver and I love those who follow my example. Is it enough to give without joy? Cheerful giving involves more than money. It is a testimony to my work in your life, that you are led by a higher purpose, and live according to the values of my Kingdom.
