Each of you should give whatever you have decided. You shouldnt be sorry that you gave or feel forced to give, since God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Cor. 9:7 When we think of giving, the first thing that usually comes to mind is presents. Of course, presents with bows and pretty wrapping paper are fun and nice to both give and receive, but giving goes much deeper than that. At the core of giving is generosity. Generosity is defined as: 1. Willingness and liberality in giving away one’s money, time, etc.; magnanimity 2. Freedom from pettiness in character and mind 3. A generous act 4. Abundance; plenty Generosity is realizing that you are so blessed that you can’t help but allow it to overflow into the lives of those around you and in need. It’s recognizing that the only thing better than having abundance is giving abundantly. We are blessed to be a blessing, and that’s what giving is about. - See more at: foundationrestoration.org/2012/12/the-heart-of-giving/#sthash.VZeRvWdE.dpuf
