2 Corinthians 9:7-15
7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to
give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful
giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all
things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every
good work. 9 As it is written:
“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever.”
their righteousness endures forever.”
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for
food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the
harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every
way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your
generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
12 This service that you perform is not only supplying
the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions
of thanks to God. 13 Because of the service by which you have
proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that
accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your
generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And
in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the
surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his
indescribable gift!
Galatians 6:10 (NRSV) Whenever we
have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those
of the family of faith.
We can do so much to share God’s love through the little
things. People need to feel and experience God’s love. They need someone to
show concern, to listen, or perhaps to share a gentle embrace. Today, tomorrow,
or on any given day, God can use each of us to bless someone.
Thought for today:
How do I bear witness to God’s love?
