Cheerful Givers

" ... for God loves a cheerful giver."

2 Corinthians 9:7b

Are you a cheerful giver? Quickly you think, so what is a cheerful giver? Who is a cheerful giver?  Glad you asked.  A cheerful giver takes pleasure in giving ... prizes above other things the ability to give ... unwilling to not give ... absolutely refuses to not give ... gives from the heart ... prompt to give ... does not sit back and wait to give ... later is always now when giving ... takes joy in giving ... finds pleasure in giving ... eager to give ... among the first to give ... happy to give ... gives joyfully ... is a selfless giver.   Get the picture?  Understand more clearly?

So, are you a cheerful giver?  Giver of what you may be asking?  Giver of your finances in support of your local church,  ministry work, and kingdom building.  Giver of your gifts, talents, skills, abilities. Giver of your time. 

There are countless opportunities to cheerfully give kind words to your spouse, children, neighbors, co-workers, employers, supervisors, strangers.  Those kind words may be spoken in person or over the phone.  They may be written via text or e-mail or note card or letter. So many opportunities are before you to give a smile, a hug, a pat on the shoulder, a firm handshake, or a warm embrace.   Cheerfully give an act of kindness before being asked, randomly, small gifts or tokens of love, caring, concern, and encouragement. 

Cheerful giver, God loves you!!!
