A little suitcase like a brick,
It kinda makes it hard to get a good grip
Miranda Lambert - 'Baggage Claim'
Giving from motivation energized by God is so ..... I just can't find the words to describe it!
II Corinthians 9:8-11 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work; (As it is written (Psalm 112:9), He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor (Gr. penes- working for a living): his righteousness remaineth for ever. Now he that ministereth [epichoregeo link] seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase" the fruits of your righteousness;) Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
Bottom line? Thanksgiving to God!
Man tends to carry a lot of baggage around with him. He just can't put it down. Natural man is full of drama and complications left to his own imagination. It saps and drags on him. Then when around others who are willing participants, he gives, trades and unloads with them. The sinister creeps in.
Up above where it says 'being enriched in everything to all bountifulness', bountifulness (haplotes link) refers to freedom from sinister baggage. If people are willing to throw away the baggage claim, and then where two or three are gathered, things turn out spectacular! True and righteous living comes from God. It is choreographed by God and there is complete freedom.
