What Kind of Giver Are You? A Cheerful Giver, An Indian Giver, or A Non Giver?

God loves a cheerful giver whose heart is in his giving. When we give a gift to someone, and you basically do it because everyone else is doing it, your heart isn’t in that. When we give to the Lord, whether it’s our time, money, or talents, we want to give cheerfully, because God loves a cheerful giver whose heart is in his giving. Giving with strings attached is what I call Indian giving. When I was a young boy, it was explained to me that once you give something to someone and then you take it back, that’s called an indian giver. You curse your own seed from harvesting later, and nobody will like you because of it. Spiritually speaking it’s a blemished gift that never makes it in the ground to bring you a return on your giving. The law of reciprocity is always in effect (Luke 6:38). Be a blessing to others and it will come back to you. Give with no strings attached and mean it from your heart. Be a “Prompt to do it Giver” whose heart is in his giving.
