2 Corinthians 8:11-12 -- On Doing What We Can

"Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not."
2 Corinthians 8:11-12


I like the idea of God taking into account our capabilities. If we are willing to serve him... to make the world better, to help pthers, then we should act on it, knowing that God isn't going to expect us to be perfect at it, but that he accepts what we have to give, and doesn't expect us to be someone else, or grade on a curve. :) He only considers what we can do, and that is enough. ... And he will help us learn to be better. Today, let's jump in and do the good that is in our hearts, and work with God to help and serve and make things better. If we do that, God will magnify our efforts and help us improve.
