2 Corinthians 9:7 says:
"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." (NIV)
This verse emphasizes that giving is meant to be voluntary and joyful, not forced or done out of guilt. God values the heart and motive behind the gift more than the amount. A cheerful spirit in generosity reflects trust in God and gratitude for His blessings.
In daily life, this means approaching generosity with willingness and joy. Whether it’s money, time, or service, our giving should come from a heart of love, not obligation. When we give cheerfully, we not only honor God but also experience the blessing of sharing in His goodness.
