Sow For Blessings, As You Freely Choose In Your Hearts: God Loves a Cheerful Giver
6 Now this[a] I say: the one sowing sparingly will also reap sparingly. And the one sowing for[b] blessings will also reap for blessings. 7 Each should give just as he has chosen-beforehand[c] in his heart— not out of grief [d] or out of compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to cause all grace to abound to you in order that in everything, always having all sufficiency, you may be abounding for every good work.
