—2 Corinthians 9:7-15
by: Renee Sanford.
Jesus never gave grudgingly. The closest he came was with the Canaanite woman who asked for healing for her daughter. Jesus told her He was sent to the Jews and engaged her in banter, allowing her the opportunity to give a faith lesson to the onlookers. But his final healing and blessing was given cheerfully and with love (Mark 7:29). May we follow Jesus’ example in giving of ourselves, our resources, and our time with joy and cheerfulness. God is glorified when His people bless each other and when we receive blessings with thankfulness and pray for others in return.
