And here is my judgment about what is best for you in this matter. Last year you were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so. Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means. For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.

2 Corinthians 8:10-12

A gift matters when it has meaning behind it. When it comes to Christian giving, what is sometimes called charity or benevolence, a gift matters when it is given eagerly of one’s abundance. The meaning of Christian giving is “you need something I have, so I will give it to you and glorify God.”

What was the last gift you gave with that heart?
