We love because God first loved us. We give because God first gave to us. Our giving is never done to earn God’s approval or acceptance, but rather in done in response to God’s approval and acceptance of us found in Jesus.

When we live as loved, we are able to remember that God gives and withholds so that we can be both generous givers and humble receivers depending on his will for our lives. Depending on the season that God has you in, we hope you remember the goodness of his love for you so that you can enjoy both giving and receiving.

“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” - 2 Corinthians 9:7
