ISB ~ 2 Corinthians 9 v7

God loves a cheerful giver:Charitable gifts must flow from a joyful heart (Sir 35:9; Rom 12:8), not one that hesitates or begrudges the gift (Deut 15:10). Reluctant givers show themselves to be attached to their wealth; their donations, sizable or not, are thus empty before God.

• Almsgiving rejoices the giver and renews the receiver. Joyful and cheerful, then, is the one who attends to the poor, for he acquires heavenly treasures by a few small coins; and unlike the taxpayer, who is compelled by penalties, he is urged by love and invited by rewards (Maximus of Turin, Sermons 71).
