Works without love

I've done lots of good works in my life, but I haven't always loved doing it. Sometimes i get so caught up in doing the right thing that I actually miss the point. If someone came up to you scowling and gave you a million dollar check and didn't seem happy about it, would you want it? For some reason I don't think I would either. There is something important about being a cheerful giver. It tells someone that you genuinely care about them. God wants you to be happy about what you give to people because he is using you to bless somebody. He wants you to show his love to the world. If someone who is mean and nasty offers me something, often I don't want to accept it. I love a cheerful giver. You can't give the way Gods wants you to if you have reservations about doing it. God doesn't just want you to give. He wants you to give generously. You can not give generously if you don't have love. If you do give someone a large gift, without doing it with the love of God more than likely you do it to make yourself look Good. God wants us to share what we have. If you're not into sharing, may God convince you of who his money belongs too. God gives people stuff in the hopes that they will bless the world with it. May we all do this and please God.
