He, who is not liberal with what he has, does but deceive himself when he thinks he would be liberal if he had more. -Tulner
2 Corinthians 9:6, But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
We give. We give our tithe. We give our offering. We even give our faith promise. But doesn’t God desire more from us than our money? I mean is God so broke that the only thing He desires from us is the money He has entrusted us with? I don’t think so. Don’t get me wrong, God does desire for us to give of each of those things. But, I believe God desires we give of ourselves; our time and talents as well.
Many people have the giving of their tithes and offerings down pat but isn’t that the easy part? Isn’t that the least we can do? Friend, when we give until God says stop, that’s when we know it’s enough. So, from here on out, do a little more for the Lord in the area of giving of our time and talents. And for a simple reminder, God loves a cheerful giver and we can’t ever out give God!
