What kind of gift would make you truly appreciative? No doubt most of us would be happy to receive a gift from a giver who is motivated by love rather than by a sense of duty or obligation. When it comes to giving, motive matters. It matters to us, And more important, it matters to God. Consider the inspired words of the apostle Paul recorded at 2 CORINTHIANS 9:7.
Why did Paul write those words? He wanted to encourage the Corinthian Christians to support the relief work for their needy fellow believers in Judea. Did he try to force the Corinthians to give? On the contrary, he wrote: "Let each one do just has he had resolved in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." Let us take a closer look at that admonition.
