GIVING AND BEING GENEROUS ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
SCARCITY
ABUNDANCE
OUR PART: WE GIVE GENEROUSLY
You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 9 As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”
- 2 Corinthians 9:7-9 (NLT)
