“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” – 2 Corinthians 9:7

In the 19th century, George Müller became known for caring for thousands of orphans in England without ever directly asking for financial support. Instead, he committed everything to prayer, trusting the LORD to provide. Through remarkable acts of generosity inspired by his faith, orphanages were built, children were fed, and lives were transformed. Müller documented countless instances where provision arrived at the exact moment it was needed; sometimes food at the door just as the children sat at empty tables. His life became a testimony that generosity that is fueled by faith can transform communities and reveal the faithfulness of God.

Generosity is not measured by the size of the gift but by the posture of the heart. When we give cheerfully and willingly, we reflect the character of God, who gave His Son freely for us. Generosity breaks the grip of selfishness and activates divine partnership. It creates impact beyond what we can see, touching lives, strengthening communities, and opening doors for the Gospel. Like George Müller, when generosity is rooted in trust, it becomes a channel through which God’s provision flows to others.

Giving is not loss but multiplication in disguise, the seed released in faith which never returns empty.

Practical Application: Intentionally bless one person today, through a financial gift, practical help, or meaningful encouragement, without expecting anything in return.

Confession: I am generous and cheerful in giving. I release what God has entrusted to me with joy. My generosity brings life, multiplies blessings, and reflects the heart of God in my community. Amen
