Day 17

2 Corinthians 9:6-11

I really enjoyed reading and writing the passage today.  It paints such vivid pictures.
It's talking about giving back to God - the what, the why, the how.
And the mindset we should have while thinking about it and doing it.

"Take plenty of time to think it over, and make up your own mind what you will give.  That will protect you from sob stories and arm-twisting.  God loves it when the giver delights in the giving."

Song - God Loves A Cheerful Giver (Steve Green) - 
From one of my favorite Christian albums - the Hide 'em in Your Heart series.

God,
Hide a cheerful giver spirit in my heart today!
Amen.
