2 CORINTHIANS 8:7-8 NIV – But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you —see that you also excel in this grace of giving. I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others.
Pray: God, connect with me here, as I seek you in your Word. Begin with focus and openness to see what God has for you.
