Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.--- 2 Corinthians 9:7 ESVA giving attitude is more important than the amount given. The person who can give only a small gift shouldn’t be embarrassed. God is concerned about how a person gives from his or her resources (see Mark 12:41-44). According to that standard the giving of the Macedonian churches would be difficult to match (8:3). God himself is a cheerful giver. Consider all he has done for us. He is pleased when we who are created in his image give generously and joyfully. Do you have a difficult time letting go of your money? It may reflect ungratefulness to God.---Life Application Study Bible notes
