The LORD loves a cheerful giver. – from 2 Cor 9:7
What is it that we want to give today, here, now? It does not have to take a huge investment of time nor money.
Is it prayer for a loved one, a friend or an enemy?
Is it a lunch for the homeless?
Is it helping a family member buy school clothes, or medication they need?
Is it some feminine supplies for the battered women’s shelter?
Is it teaching children how to read and or write? Or how to budget? Mentoring?
Is it a word of encouragement for the downtrodden?
Is it holding the tongue when we could say something cruel?
Is it unselfishly calling a parent or family member just to check on them even if they have broken the heart too many times to count?
When we give cheerfully and not begrudgingly, God blesses us. It becomes easier for us to detach from our limited ideas about love and how to give, as well as receive it .
