4.15.18 – “The Scripture says that “God loves a
cheerful giver.” The word cheerful can be translated “hilarious,” and it is
this manner of giving that God approves of. It’s amazing the attitudes folks
have. Some have “control” issues, that is, they want to govern their gift even
after they give it. Others stop or re-direct their giving if they are
displeased with what the church does. Remember, God loves “hilarious” giving!
You and I cannot out give God! The more that we give, the more He give back to
us. Someone said, “Give till it hurts,” but we need to give until we can give
joyfully!” S. E. Trail
My prayer for you is for you to give, not
till it hurts but “till it stops hurting,” and then you will know the joy of
giving!
Proverbs
3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own
understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he
shall direct thy paths. KJV
“A friend was in front of me coming out
of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to
shake hands. He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside. The Pastor said to him, "You need to join the Army of the Lord!" My
friend replied, "I'm already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor." Pastor
questioned, "How come I don't see you except at Christmas and
Easter?" He whispered back, "I'm in the secret service."
