CQOD: 11/20/06 -- Emrich: giving
Christian Quotation of the Day
November 20, 2006Feast of Edmund of the East Angles, Martyr, 870
Commemoration of Priscilla Lydia Sellon, a Restorer of the Religious Life in the Church of England, 1876
For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have. I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened, but that as a matter of fairness your abundance at the present time should supply their need, so that their abundance may supply your need, that there may be fairness. As it is written, "Whoever gathered much had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack."
-- 2 Corinthians 8:12-15 (ESV)
Quotation:
Living for others, commitment to God’s redeeming purposes, is a means of grace. We give because of our faith, and it deepens as we give. If we permit ourselves and our people to give casually, we are really teaching contempt.
... Richard S. Emrich (b.1910)
Quiet time reflection:
Lord, grant me a loving and giving heart.
