Generous Love of Christ
‘For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor,
so that you through his poverty may become rich’
(2 Corinthians 8:9)
Generosity and grace go hand in hand. The truly generous person gives
in abundance beyond any obligation. And generosity does not have to be in money.
The generous person forgives when they are sinned against.
Why should Christians be generous? Because of the supreme act of generosity to us,
when Jesus left the untold glory of heaven to enter this world
‘to seek and to save the lost’ It is the supreme act of generosity.
Question for thought: Do I understand who Jesus is and what he has done?
God Almighty, we are greatly encouraged to see how vibrant Mothers Union is in Tanzania.
We pray for the Diocese of Morogoro and pray that members will be strengthened
in their faith and trust in you. Give them wisdom in facing challenges of poverty and unemployment.
We thank you for the support they give to those struggling. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
