Bible Reading : 2 Corinthians 9

Exhortation:

Theme: “ Be a cheerful giver.”

Let not your gift look like you are giving under pressure. People may hesitate to give generously to God if they worry about having enough money left over to their own needs. Be assured that God is able to meet your needs. The person who gives only a little will receive only a little in return. Do not let a lack of faith keep you from giving freely and generously. Our attitude when we give is more important than the amount we give. God gives us resources to use and invest for him. When we invest what God has given us in His work, He will provide us with even more to give. There is a spiritual reward for those who give generously to God's work. Those who receive your gifts will be helped, will praise God, and will pray for you. As you bless others, you yourself will be blessed.

PRAYER:

“LORD grant me the grace to give to you willingly and cheerfully out-of my substances.
