Cheerful Giver

A Cheerful Giver Loves God

You’ve heard the Bible say “God Loves a Cheerful Giver. Now let’s flip it to say, “A Cheerful Giver Loves God.”  Flipping it seems less guilt-ridden and passive aggressive to me.  Instead of fearing the loss of God’s love if we don’t give… we choose to give cheerfully because we love our God, the giver of all good things.  Jesus left us with two jobs.  To love God and love our neighbor.  Both commandments are fulfilled with we cheerfully give back to the world.

 

Let us pray:    Gracious God, I love you and strive to be a cheerful giver every day.  Amen
