2 Corinthians 8
2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 are Paul's appeal to the church in Corinth to complete the task of collecting an offering to help the poor in Jerusalem. They have promised to take the offering but have failed to do so. In these two chapters he lists a variety of reasons why they should give. As you read the ways Paul tries to inspire them to give, think about your life. Why do you give?

"Our talents are the gift that God gives to us... What we make of our talents is our gift back to God" is an interesting quote by Leo Buscaglia. It seems that the word "talents" can be interchanged with money, possessions, etc. This reminds me that everything we have is a gift from God, and that it is important to give back to Him - money, time, talents, service, etc.
