Have you ever been so excited about finding the perfect present that you couldn’t wait to give it?
Whatever the perfect gift was, you got excited because you loved the recipient and you knew the gift would make him or her happy.
The reasons we enjoy giving to our loved ones are the same reasons we enjoy giving to God. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
If you want to get excited about giving, get to know Jesus. As we get to know Him, we grow in love for Him. Instead of giving on a whim or because we feel like we have to, we find ourselves thinking about what would make God happy. And when we picture His excited response, we become giddy about giving our gift.
Everyone special deserves something. And that is when we give gifts. It may be a material thing or not. But if it is given from the heart, it will always be special.
The Lord gave us the ultimate gift—the gift of salvation! May the gratitude that we have for that gift overflow into every area of our life.
Happy sunday to you. I've been skipping going to church but I'm glad that even here on read.cash, I was able to read some word of God. Thank you. Allow me to boost your article. This deserves to be read by many. ❤
