Remaining Present
Do you have a Christmas present that you have not unwrapped? I would guess not. When someone gives us a gift, we tend to open it as quickly as we can. As believers, God desires to bless us in great ways. How many blessings from God do we leave on the table?
2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (NIV)
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
