2 Corinthians 8:1-5
1And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. 2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people. 5 And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us.
Reflection
Disciples are generous. Disciples give whatever is needed when it is needed. How do you give (more than just financially) back to God? What legacy do you want to leave (meaning what things do you want to ensure are around for your children and grandchildren)?
