What we sow (give, put our time into, invest in) will be what we get. If it is a little, we will get a little, if a lot, we will get a lot.
Generously: give with all your heart. If you cannot do so, DO NOT GIVE. I guess I would be a really bad person to ask to ask for money/offering/etc... I will never push for a certain goal of money. What I will ask for is what people are willing to give. The thing is, there are so many strategies out there about how to get people to give more generously, like having an open collection basket so people can see how much you put in. I would never make people do that. I'm almost tempted to say I would rather make it harder for people to give so that it's those who God has put into their hearts to give will give.
And yet I look at myself and what I have given. I have not to put it simply. At least not in the way of finances. I feel so tightfisted. Time to change that. Really. Starting tomorrow (church), you'll find out tomorrow in my post whether I have followed God's command.
