āØEXCELLENCE IN GIVING | 2 Corinthians 8:1-9āØ
ā Pstra. Araceli Condino
"You can GIVE without LOVE, but you cannot LOVE without GIVING."
In 2 Corinthians 8:1-9, we learn that true excellence in giving isnāt measured by how much we have, but by the heart behind what we share. The Macedonian believers gave generously even in deep trialā because they first gave themselves fully to the LORD.
Sometimes, we give out of duty or obligation, but love always chooses to give. When we give with a willing, and joyful heart, we reflect the greatest gift of all and that isā JESUS CHRIST, though He was rich, yet became poor for us, so that through His poverty we might become rich.
So, let us give not out of compulsion, but out of abundant LOVEāfor every act of kindness is a way to share the GRACE we have RECEIVED. āØļø
