Romans 15: 23-29

Thomas Less, August 13, 2010

23But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to see you, 24I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to visit you while passing through and to have you assist me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem in the service of the saints there. 26For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. 27They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings. 28So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this fruit, I will go to Spain and visit you on the way. 29I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.

Jesus, Paul is on a mission to give a gift to the poor.  Jesus, renew my passion for serving the poor.  I once wanted so bad to give to the poor.  I have lost so much of that.  I have forgotten how much joy it brings.  Help me not to give out of obligation or habit, but to give joyfully.  It is so good to give, for Your glory, not mine.  *Romans15*
