2 Corinthians 8:8 - 15


8 I speak not by commandment,
but by occasion of the forwardness of others,
and to prove the sincerity of your love.
9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor,
that ye through his poverty might be rich.
10 And herein I give my advice:
for this is expedient for you, who have begun before,
not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
11 Now therefore perform the doing of it;
that as there was a readiness to will,
so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
12 For if there be first a willing mind,
it is accepted according to that a man hath,
and not according to that he hath not.
13 For I mean not that other men be eased,
and ye burdened:
14 But by an equality,
that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want,
that their abundance also may be a supply for your want:
that there may be equality:
15 As it is written,
He that had gathered much had nothing over;
and he that had gathered little had no lack.




Today's Prayer...


Dear Father in heaven,

We thank you for giving our hearts hope for your kingdom,
the kingdom of God. We thank you that again and again we
may draw strength from this hope, find new youthfulness and
courage, and discover how powerfully, though hidden,
your kingdom is already approaching.
Protect this vision and help us when we fail.
All will come right.
Whatever happens, we are in your hands,
and no one shall snatch this joy from our hearts.


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
