Giving in a Year That Keeps on Taking

“For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.” 2 Corinthians 8:12 (NIV)

Willingness is all God asks of us — willingness to lay a little of what we have in His hands and watch Him transform it into something beautiful. The amount of the gift doesn’t matter. Just like the widow with only a mite, (Mark 12:41-44) we may be scraping the bottom of our purses to give this year. And when we come up with the little we have left because of the much that COVID-19 has taken, and humbly offer it to God, He does with it exactly what Jesus did with the little boy’s five loaves and two fish. (John 6:1-14) He multiplies our little beyond our comprehension.
