EXCELLENCE IN GIVING

EXCELLENCE IN GIVING

2 Corinthians 8:1-7
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=2+Corinthians+8:1-7

Dear Father,

Show your grace to me and my family by giving us hearts so
generous that we will share liberally with those who need our help.

May we give ourselves first to you, and then to our brethren. Help
us to give of our means, even beyond our means, and of our own free
will. May we earnestly desire to relieve the needs of Christians
who are poor and whose lives are burdened.

Help us not only resolve to do good, but to complete the good we
set out to do.

Help us to excel in everything - in faith, in utterance, in
knowledge, in all earnestness, in love of the brethren - but in
this also, that we share our material wealth, a real measure of
your gracious work within us.

In the name of Jesus I humbly ask for your help in giving us a
generous spirit. Amen.
