there are two points that I really enjoyed here.
the first one is the point that Paul encourages, not commands people to give. it is not something that is required, but rather something done out if love. he encourages people to be willing to give and then actually do it. words don't mean anything.
the second point is how it is all about God. giving is about God. the willingness, all of Paul's encourgaements, it is all about God. we do not give because it looks good, or we want the approval of man. we don't give according to how much man tells us to give, but we give according to what God wants. that may be hard to figure out sometimes, but if you really search for him, you'll find him. that's a promise.
