Where Our Hearts Are

God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7.

There are many compassionate organizations reaching out to those in need, and people often ask the question, “What can my little amount do when the needs are so great? Why bother to give?” God looks at our finances differently than we do. He knows that our giving is a measure of something far more important. When we reach out to others with gifts of compassion, we demonstrate God’s compassion. We should not give to impress others, but we should give because it expresses concern and compassion. Responsible giving is important, and it is important to ask God to help us make the right choices in our giving. The Bible tells us to give joyfully and not out of a grudging obligation; God loves a cheerful giver. God does not need our money, but He wants us to discover where our hearts are, and when we give to bless others, it pleases the heart of God. God is able to take what we give and use it in ways we never could imagine. The extra dollar, when given in His name, is multiplied in ways we will never know. What a testimony it is when someone receives a gift knowing that God has put it on our hearts to give it. By His hand, He gives the increase.
