“If I cannot give bountifully, yet I will give freely, and what I want in my hand, supply by my heart; he gives well that gives willingly.”
Arthur Warwick (sixteenth century) English cleric, in Day’s Collacon compiled and arranged by Edward Parsons Day (New York: IPPO, 1884) 322.
In this season of gift-giving, let us focus not on what’s going out from our hands but on what’s going on in our hearts. Let us give well by giving willingly (cf. 2 Corinthians 9:7).
