2 Corinthians 8:1-4
Encouragement to Be Generous
We want you to know, brothers and sisters, about the grace of God that has been granted to the churches of Macedonia; for during a severe ordeal of affliction, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. For, as I can testify, they voluntarily gave according to their means, and even beyond their means, begging us earnestly for the privilege of sharing in this ministry to the saints—
Acts of random kindness
A discipline open to all
of whatever means
or position
or status.
Not just for the wealthy
to do unto others
But also
the gift of receiving
from others
what they can do
within their means
simply for the joy of giving.
Called together
to share the privilege
of ministry
one to another
bearing witness to
the love
and generosity
of God.
