Romans 12:8 ” …if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously.”

This time of year we are inundated with requests and pleas for donations.  They call on the phone, they mail us fliers, they approach us in public places.  All these overwhelming requests can turn anyone cold towards helping others…to the point of thinking, ” I can’t give, I can hardly get by with what I have!”   Paul addressed this in II Corinthians 8:2 –  where he explained even though the Church in Macedonia was going through severe trials and  extreme poverty,  their  joy of the Lord overflowed and welled up into rich generosity towards others.   God has proven over and over again that you can’t out give Him.  So allow  joy  and thankfulness to fill your heart this Holiday Season as you give generously to others…not out of your lack, but out of His riches.
