From 2 Corinthians 9:6-7: “The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

God is fully trustworthy. I am finally learning this. I’m finally learning that His sovereign plan is the best plan. That whatever I entrust to Him, He can take care of better than I.
