2 Corinthians 8
I know that I am to be generous...but I am called to be generous regardless of what I am experiencing. This is similar to giving thanks...regardless of the circumstances:
My Prayer: Lord, as Paul wrote You became poor so that I could become rich...and I am rich...You have blessed me in all ways and beyond what I deserve. I am not deserving because I am lazy, disobedient, selfish, impatient, etc. Thank You Jesus that You love me anyway but please forgive me for these sins! Help me turn from these sins and towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Help me give Lisa strength. Help me serve and lead Lisa, Zach and Dustin. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. v2
