God loves a cheerful giver

Some people don’t want to give their money or time, and talents to the Lord, because they don’t trust the local church. God wants us to give from a place of freedom and openness of heart. Not reluctantly or sorrowfully, or under pressure. That’s when you should keep your money, because you’re not giving with the right heart. God loves a cheerful giver whose heart is in his giving. The Bible says give, and it shall be given again unto you (Luke 6:38). Trusting the Lord with your money is a big step for most. Thoughts of how the money is spent by the Pastor is not our business once we’ve released the tithe or offering. Again best not to give if you’re bound by those thoughts. Sowing your seed of money or your talents is a God idea. Our tithe is for the functioning of the local church. We give as a sign of our faith and trust in God. Sowing your seed in good ground is important too. If you know things aren’t right, and we’re talking straight up rampant sin in the leadership, it’s time to bounce up out of there. As we mature in Christ and learn how to hear the voice of God, we will have clear direction when to give, how much to give, and so on. Giving is a sacred thing which must be done with the right heart to bring back the desired harvest. God loves a cheerful giver.
