Give Gladly

---

“Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your harvest” Proverbs 3:9

In an article titled “Faithful Generosity, Even When You’re Broke”, author Heather Hocking writes: “Generosity requires trust, not money. No one can live generously without trusting the Lord.

A wealthy person can give vast amounts of money apart from Christ, but true generosity requires sacrificial giving in joyful submission to the Lord. For that, one must trust that God is a good Father who will provide for you and that you matter to Him.

Generosity pushes us further into knowing and trusting the love of God. No matter my income level, if I don’t trust God to provide for me, I’ll lead toward hoarding my resources.”

The Lord desires for us to be cheerful givers, so, ask the Lord to give you wisdom and joy in your giving.

“Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” – 2 Corinthians 9:7
