Scripture 2 Corinthians 9:7-11 Mary Meckenstock
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or
under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 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. As it is written: “He has scattered abroad
his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.” Now he who supplies
seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of
seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich
in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us
your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
