THE GUMPTION OF SUPER GIVING

Did you know that the man who started Domino’s Pizza and became worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and owned the Detroit Tigers, one day sold it all and gave the money to missions. When asked why, he simply replied, “None of my GETTING ever gave me as much satisfaction and contentment as this GIVING.”

Think not on how much you give but on all that is left after you give. Call it monetary excellence with a spiritual streak. Call it getting your priorities straight. Call it opportunity rather than obligation.

Someone has written, “giving is not a way of raising money but a way of raising men.”

There are two very important reasons for giving:
The law… God commands it.
Love…gratitude demands it.

Give because God loves you and you love Him. Give because the Bible really doesn’t enshrine miserhood. Give because you are filled with such gratitude for all your blessings you cannot allow yourself to do anything else.

Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, "prompt to do it") giver [whose heart is in his giving]. 2 Corinthians 9: 7
