Greetings and blessings to the entire blockchain.

In 2 Corinthians 9: 6-7, the apostle Paul says:

But this I say: he who sows in moderation will also reap in moderation; and he who sows generously will also reap generously. Each one gives as proposed in his heart: not with sadness, nor out of necessity, because God loves the cheerful giver.

When you have to present your offering before the altar of God, first verify your heart so that you realize, if you will do it with sadness or joy.
Offering with sadness or joy is an emotional state that will bring the same result of God. If you sow with sadness, it implies that your seed is scarce and your harvest will be scarce, more if you sow with joy, you will experience a great harvest that will be backed by God, who says the Word, that God loves the glad. giver.

The crop you should collect will depend on the seed you are going to sow.
Sowing generously means doing it with joy, regardless of whether your seed is the livelihood you have for tomorrow. Remember the example of the widow who offered two whites, which was the only thing he had as sustenance for the next day. The Lord Jesus took this example as one of great generocity that produces the activation of God's power to bring abundant harvest into the life of the one who sows with joy.

Whether you live with scarcity or abundance will depend on how your heart's offering is.
Whoever gives an offering with joy gets rid of all restrictions and this generates in his heart a spirit of joy in giving.

When Jesus said to the rich man: he sells everything he has and gives it to the poor, he became sad because he had many riches.
The offering that this rich man could give to the poor is a petty offering, scarce and surrounded by sadness, because sadness and selfishness dominated his heart.

It is important to emphasize, reader friend, that God does not need our offerings to live, because God is the owner of the entire universe, of God is gold as silver. God only wants to teach us that the path of blessing comes from being happy givers, not so much to God, but to those in need.

When God presented his offering on the altar of humanity, he did it with love and joy that he did not care about the sufferings of his beloved offering, which is Christ. God presented his offering with joy with the firm conviction that the planting of a son would bring him a great harvest of many children, including you and me.

Sow your seed with joy and the results of your harvest will be incredible.

God blesses the cheerful giver, there is nothing new to receive but the one who gives loves.
