The point is this:

whoever sows sparingly

   will also reap sparingly,

and whoever sows bountifully

   will also reap bountifully.

               2 Corinthians 9. 6

(God's fundamental law

            of multiplication.

What are we bringing to the table?

What are we bringing to the altar?

What is my heart in this?

God multiplies every good work,

   far beyond what we can see.)

O LORD,

You are able

to multiply and redeem

    what we sow in Your name.

Help us to be faithful

   in the little patch of ground

     You have placed before us

that You may grow a magnificent forest

            that will outlive us

for Your Kingdom

             and for Your glory.
