THE ATTITUDE OF GIVING
Plain Truth: The main idea in this verse is, that the act of giving should be voluntary and cheerful. (In all areas of giving)
3 THOUGHTS
A. Our giving should be influenced by the purposes of our heart. Note: it could be said that our giving reveals the purposes in our heart. This reflects our relationship with God.
B. God does not want our giving to be in a grudging manner (reluctantly, unhappily giving with plenty of complaining) or of necessity (given because someone has forced us or manipulated us into giving).
C. God wants us to give cheerfully. God wants us to give happily. Note: God willingly gives to us, He is an example of how to give.
PRACTICALITIES OF GIVING

B. When you give. Thank Him for the ability. Thank Him for the finances to give. Do it with honor and worship in your heart.
