2 Corinthians 7 & 8
Inspired thots
It is not easy to be dealing with people; especially in the same faith. The expectation is high and the reciprocation is low. Yet, for Christ, one must press on... even when one cares deeply for others who do not return the same affection.
When one is hurt, others in the group are also affected. That is not Christ's way. God's people are to encourage one another.
Giving and giving beyond ability are Christ-like traits.
What is most important is this:
1) Giving of SELF to God
and,
2) give to others as is God's will
This is a giving of grace ~ gracious giving (8:7)
I am exhorted to be gracious in giving ~ giving of grace, according to the grace of my Lord Jesus that he was rich.
In Conclusion
It is never easy to do what is right ~ not only in the eyes of God but also in the eyes of men. That would mean a humbling of self.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
