People may hesitate to give generously to God if they worry about having enough money left over to meet their own needs. Paul assured the Corinthians that God was able to meet their needs. The person who gives only a little will receive only a little in return. A giving attitude is more important than the amount given. The person who can give only a small gift should not be embarrassed. God is concerned about how a person gives from his or her resources. As Christians, our duty is to reflect our heavenly Father. Because our Father is a cheerful giver, we must be willing to give to others who are in need.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
