“Let each one give [thoughtfully and with purpose] just as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver [and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift]. And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in abundance to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity.”

Genesis 18:3,10  3 and said, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant.  10 And He said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.”

Proverbs 3:1-4  1 My son, do not forget my law,

But let your heart keep my commands;

2 For length of days and long life

And peace they will add to you. 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you;

Bind them around your neck,

Write them on the tablet of your heart,

4 And so find favor and high esteem

In the sight of God and man.

But joy comes in the morning.
