“你们既然凡事富裕，就可以慷慨地捐输，使众人借着我们，对神生出感谢的心。”
哥林多后书 9:11
“you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God.”
2 Corinthians 9:11
The apostle Paul complimented the church for their intentional and enthusiastic offerings (2 Corinthians 9:2, 5), reminding them that God delights in generous and cheerful givers (vv. 6–7). After all, no one gives more than our loving Provider, who’s always ready to supply all we need (vv. 8–10).
We can be generous in all kinds of giving, caring for one another because the Lord meets all of our material, emotional, and spiritual needs (v. 11). As we give, we can express our gratitude for all God has given us. We can even motivate others to praise the Lord and give from all God has given them (vv. 12–13).
Openhanded giving, a lavish expression of love and gratitude, can demonstrate our confidence in God’s provision for all His people.
Lord,
please help us trust Your abundant love and generosity,
so we can give to others as You so faithfully give to us.
