Giving

II Corinthians 9:7

“Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

This morning I got to be an eye witness.  I saw the offering plate passed over a young child while he was digging in his pockets. As he struggled to free what was captive he looked so discouraged.  After a few more moments of squirming he finally was able to withdraw a bill from his pockets.  Brilliant! Without hesitating he left his seat and made his way, actually ran, to the closest usher and with the most sincere smile handed over his money.

I smiled to myself. I imagined God smiling as he saw this drama unfold–he loves this kind of stuff.

    It’s a definite reminder that we should have that attitude in ALL forms of worship….running to God. Thanks for the reminder.
