WHEN THE APOSTLE PAUL wroto to the Philippians thanking them for their financial gift, he made it clear that his greatest joy came not from his own personal benefit, but from theirs:" Not that I am looking for a gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account" (Phil.4:17). In doing so he used an accounting metaphor, envisionin a heavenly ledger with huge credit, the implication being that in addition to meeting needs in the moment the generous also receive a future benefit. In this life we partner with those who spread the gospei, joining together those who "sow" with those who "reap" and "gather". And in eternity we benefit from the rewards God lavishes on us for having the faith to invest in what we cannot see.
