Right now, here's Pastor Rick Warren with the final part of a message called,

God's Promise to the Generous.

Did you know that there's a verse in the Bible in Proverbs that says,

every time you give to the poor, God says,

I consider it as a loan to God and I will repay.

It says, he who gives to the poor loans to the Lord and he will repay.

Where? In heaven!

In heaven, God says, when you give to help somebody else, you are actually storing up in heaven.

You're building your eternal home.

Now, how do I do that? Look at this next verse.

1 Timothy 6 verse 18 and 19.

Give happily. Circle that one happily.

Bible says, God loves a cheerful giver.
