“Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.”
2 Corinthians 9:6 NLT
Generous giving shows God you have a generous heart; He can then trust you with more of His wealth knowing you will sow it on as well.
There are many ways to be generous by giving: funds, time, love, forgiveness, encouragement. Yesterday I saw my church family give their love to my unchurched friends. One received them openly the other did not. Even resisted, one friend persevered, for which I am grateful. I saw love in action. It blessed me.
Our God is generous. The best gift was His Son. The gospels tell us about Jesus and how He said, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father”(Jn 14:8-10). In these verses Phillip asks Jesus to show the disciples the Father, and Jesus replies with the above verse, not before remonstrating with Phillip for not understanding.
We have enough evidence of the nature of God in Christ. We can now share Gim with others. Amen!
