Opening Scripture:
2 Corinthians 9:7 – “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
2 Corinthians 9:7 – “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
Study:
As we approach the end of the Advent season, we are reminded that joy is also found in giving. God loves a cheerful giver, and when we give from the heart, we participate in the joy of the season. Giving is not limited to material gifts but includes the offering of our time, love, and service. Through our giving, we reflect the generosity of God, who gave His Son for us.
The joy of giving is not found in the quantity or value of what we give, but in the heart with which we give. As we approach the Christmas celebration, let us consider how we can give joyfully, not just to those we know, but to those who are in need.
Reflection Questions:
- What does cheerful giving look like in your life?
- How can you give joyfully this season?
- How can you extend generosity beyond material gifts?
Pray for a generous heart that gives cheerfully, not just during Advent, but throughout the year.
Share Your Thoughts:
How has giving joyfully impacted you? How can you give in a way that reflects God’s love this season?
