For God loves a cheerful giver.
2Cor.9,7
A sign of a believer is that he not only gives, but gives cheerfully.
Cheerfulness is the sign of a healthy and whole soul. Cheerful people are great to hang around, just as gloomy people are avoided. To be cheerful while giving says something even more. It indicates an authentic desire to elevate the other, a sign of genuine love.
Lord, I tend to be tight fisted. Help love be the motivation of my giving and open my grasp to give cheerfully.
Saint Laurence, who cheerfully gave even your very life, please pray for me.
