1 Chronicles 29:9; Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the LORD; and King David also rejoiced greatly.
God loves a cheerful giver. As believers in Christ we don’t give out of coercion or with an intent of getting something in return from God, our giving must always stem from gratitude. Gratitude towards the Grace Christ has shown us through His sacrifice.
A sacrifice that has secured our eternity in God’s bosom. This must be the driving force for everything we do for God, including giving. But someone may ask “why does God need us to give to Him didn’t He create everything?”
A Father provides everything for His child not looking to get anything back from him, but when the child gives a gift to his Father, though his father may not need it, it still gladens His heart. The same goes for God, though He doesn’t need our money, when we give to His cause and His church, it shows the sincerity of our love, honor and gratitude for His sacrifice for us and this gladens His heart.
It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
