2 Corinthians 7-9, Psalms 114
What God said to me – I love a cheerful giver, one who realizes all of their blessings are from Me, and who is willing to share those blessings. Cheerfulness in giving is a sign that you trust Me. Cheerfulness in life is also a sign that you trust Me no matter what circumstances you find yourself in. One of the most difficult things in trials is to acknowledge that “I AM” at work for your good. When you come to that place, and you truly understand that I work all things for your good is when you experience joy unspeakable and full of glory. It is because of My joy that you can truly be cheerful in the most difficult times.
