For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God, while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men, and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! - 2 Corinthians 9.12-15
It all comes down to this. There is a reason why we can give the way we are supposed to give. There is a motivation. There is a point that allows us to be cheerful givers.
All of our giving has a basis. There is an example that every gift we give can be compared to.
'Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.'
If we could ever stop to think about what He gave we could get a proper perspective on our own giving. He gave it all for me. What am I willing to give to see His work done today.
How does my gift compare to His indescribable gift?
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
