“But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of neccessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
When I read this verse the words abundant life come to mind. Yes, it refers to reasons for giving; that we should always give out of charity, out of love, rather than because we are supposed to, or have overage we can spare. However, on a different note it could apply to how we live life in general, robustly or weakly. Do we give ourselves over to life freely, or do we hold back in fear or self-doubt? When we work against or thwart God’s will for us, we fight what is for our own good. When we cheerfully cooperate with God’s plan, or the leadings of His Spirit within, we allow Him to manifest His grace in us and for us, for our good. Giving our complete self over to God, withholding nothing from Him, ensures His promis of sufficiencly in all things, abundance of life.
“I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” John 10:10
