Today's Scripture Reading:
"The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." - 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 (ESV)
Excerpt:
There are those of us that love to give, and those of us who are weary to give to anyone. We choose who and where we give our time and resources to, and often place a gauge of value on how much it is worth to give. There is a biblical principle to giving though - that we are gracious in our giving as God has been gracious to us. But why are we so afraid to give? why are we so skeptic and critical in the way we give to the church and to those who are more in need than we are?
