But I will say this to encourage your generosity: the one who plants little harvests little, and the one who plants plenty harvests plenty.

“But I will say this to encourage your generosity: the one who plants little harvests little, and the one who plants plenty harvests plenty.  Giving grows out of the heart—otherwise, you’ve reluctantly grumbled “yes” because you felt you had to or because you couldn’t say “no,” but this isn’t the way God wants it. For we know that “God loves a cheerful giver.” - 2 CORINTHIANS 9: 6-7
