The Kitchen Table Devotionals
2 Corinthians 8 Day 2
For I testify that according to their ability, and beyond their ability, they gave of their own accord, 4 begging us with much urging for the favor of participation in the support of the saints, 5 and this, not as we had expected, but they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us by the will of God
2 Corinthians 8:3-5
Real love begets real love. These believers who were touched by the love of God gave according to their ability and beyond their ability. They were able to give and they were able to give beyond what they were able because they were able to think beyond what they were able. This privilege only belongs to those who haven’t spent their love on themselves thus creating a disability to give to God and others. The real love we have in our hearts shows up in both our ability and disability to give.
