Introduction

Today’s Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:12
If you are eager to give, God will accept your gift on the basis of what you have to give, not on what you don’t have.
Reflect
What example was set by the churches in Macedonia? Reread verses 13-15. What can communities of faith today learn from these verses?
Pray
Holy Spirit, breathe a spirit of deep generosity into our churches, that all followers of Jesus may be inspired to share the gifts of God with those in need. Gracious God, bless all your people with the abundance of your love. Amen.
