We Grow: A Journey of Drawing Closer to God

DAY 246 OF 365

Day 246 of 365

In 2 Corinthians 8, Paul praises the Macedonian churches for their remarkable generosity, even in the midst of their own poverty. Their giving flows from hearts transformed by God’s love, demonstrating a willingness to sacrifice for others. This stands in stark contrast to King Jehoram in 2 Chronicles 21, whose greed and corruption led to division and destruction. When the Holy Spirit fills us, our hearts are freed from selfish desires, allowing us to give generously, motivated by love and compassion rather than obligation.

True generosity is an act of worship, reflecting the selflessness of Christ, who gave everything for us. The Spirit enables us to see our resources not as possessions to hoard but as gifts to bless others. When we surrender to His leading, our giving becomes a powerful testimony of God’s grace, inspiring those around us and showing them His love in tangible ways.

Today, ask the Holy Spirit to instill in you a heart of generosity. Consider how you can be a blessing, whether through finances, time, or simply listening to someone in need. May your generosity flow from a heart transformed by God’s love, becoming a beacon of hope and encouragement to others.
