God loves a cheerful giver. Why? Because someone who gives from a cheerful heart that is an icon of a changed heart. The focus is on a transformed life, not a lack of money in the church. Have a cheerful heart and giving becomes a spark of joy in your life. Your life set free from the tyranny of a poverty mentality means your focus is on eternal truths rather than temporary possessions.
