God loves a cheerful giver. One of his contacts was an old friend. The man saw his point. Andrew, you are right. Here's 10 pounds, seeing it is for Jesus Christ.
Proper motives are essential in Christian service, whether it's money or time or talents.
The Lord is more concerned with why we give than with how much we give. We should never give to receive the praise of others, but because we love God and desire to see His name honored and glorified. If His hand the offering took.
