“But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in your love for us—see that you also excel in this grace of giving.” – 2 Corinthians 8:7 NIV
We give not only because we are instructed to do so, but also because we recognize that all we have is truly His. Giving is a form of worship and of thanksgiving.
