The Gifts of God for the People of God

Today's Verse - 2 Corinthians 9:8 (NIV):
God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

Paul is telling the church in Corinth that God freely gives to them enough, not only for their own need, but also for the needs of others.

Today's Comments: God does not just give us the order to love our neighbor; he also gives us the means by which we can love our neighbor. He wants us to share our time, talents, and treasures with others. We are created with a purpose; and along the way, God provides us with gifts to fulfill our purpose. God gives us our time to do His will, our talents to enable us to pursue His will for us, and our treasures to help others. Finally, He gives us the food of the Blessed Sacrament to sustain us, as we accomplish His purpose.
