2 Corinthians 8:1-15 (New International Version)
How do I excel in this grace of giving?
One possible solution. Give yourself first to the Lord and then to people (poor, widow, ministers of the gospel) in keeping with God's will. (ref. 2 Corinthians 8:5)
Second possible solution. Willingness. 2 Corinthians 8:12 For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.
Giving is one of the great joys and privileges of the Christian life. Clinical psychology has concluded that generosity and kindness are good for your health: For example, lifespan has been found to increase among older adults who volunteer. And since the self-centered pursuit of riches is sinful, it makes sense that generosity brings freedom and the loving the right things.
