Grace to give

Father, as I came to this chapter (2 Cor 8) on “giving” I almost skipped it partly because I didn't really want to deal with it – and then I realized it’s an area I do need to deal with, or rather allow You to.  While I have always given, I have not always done so cheerfully and I know it is the attitude of my heart that really matters. I understand these things with my head but need You to help me get them into my heart.  Not just in the area of money, but with my whole life. 

One of my life’s goals is to be generous with my life.  I believe that is a desire that You have placed within my heart and Your grace will accomplish what You have begun.  All I can do is trust You, to listen for Your voice and follow where You lead.  It’s a wonderful journey and I am so grateful that You are with me – each and every step of the way . . .even when I am reluctant.
