2 Corinthians 9:8

God Loves A Cheerful Giver

⁷ Each person should do as he has decided in his heart—not reluctantly or out of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. ⁸ And God is able to make every grace overflow to you, so that in every way, always having everything you need, you may excel in every good work. ⁹ As it is written:

He scattered;
He gave to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever.
