In fact, Jesus said, "It is better to give than to receive." My parents used to say that to me when I was a kid. As a kid, I didn't believe it. Now I experience the truth of this verse. There is great delight in giving to others. And there is no greater joy than giving so others can know Jesus.
Whatever we have that we cannot give holds too tight of a grip on our hearts. We are to be loosely connected to this world. Our hearts are to be gripped by our eternal dwelling. Give in such a way as to demonstrate that reality.
God loves a cheerful giver. Don't we all.
