Plain and simple...

We love because He first loved us.
1 John 4:19

Reading this morning from

a post on Focus on the Family....

Here is some of it, but I encourage you

 to check it out for yourself, HERE.

"Give because giving reflects

 the loving and generous God

 who gave His Son, Jesus Christ,

 so that we would have the opportunity

 to be blessed and to bless others by giving."

(Oh, yeah! Sound familiar?)

"Remember, giving to God

 reminds us who He is,

 who we are

and what our relationship should be to Him

 and those things that He allows us

to manage in His name...."
