So I thought I should try to get the brothers to visit you ahead of time. They will finish the plans for the large gift you had promised. Then it will be ready as a gift freely given. It will not be given by force.Here is something to remember. The one who plants only a little will gather only a little. And the one who plants a lot will gather a lot.Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give. You shouldn’t give if you don’t want to. You shouldn’t give because you are forced to. God loves a cheerful giver.And God is able to shower all kinds of blessings on you. So in all things and at all times you will have everything you need. You will do more and more good works.It is written,“ They have spread their gifts around to poor people. Their good works continue forever.”( Psalm 112:9)God supplies seed for the person who plants. He supplies bread for food. God will also supply and increase the amount of your seed. He will increase the results of your good works.You will be made rich in every way. Then you can always give freely. We will take your many gifts to the people who need them. And they will give thanks to God.
