Give With a Willing Heart

My dear son,

If you want to share something with someone today, take a moment to notice your own heart. I love the willingness behind your gift more than the size of what you hold. You do not need to force a smile as you give.

Decide what you can offer within your circumstances. Even a little help carries care when you have thoughtfully prepared it. Give from your own heart, without comparing your gift with anyone else's.

I hope you will enjoy seeing the love you have received reach another person. Watching you discover that joy delights me. Let us begin this day with gratitude and hands willing to share.

With all my love,
Your Father

2 Corinthians 9:7

WEB

7Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

A short reflection

Paul urges each person to give voluntarily as they have decided in their heart, because God loves a cheerful giver.
