2 Corinthians 8:3 "For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;"
The capacity that a surrendered child of God has to give and sacrifice is really something. But we all have our limit. Our power to aid those around us to our own detriment has a boundary that we will reach. Then what?
That surrendered child of God will find what is beyond their own power. It's as if we're running a race and we run, and we run, and we run until we can absolutely run no more. We collapse forward, but instead of hitting the ground God's power (which was their all along) is their to grab us and carry us beyond where our power could get us.
We foolishly set limits to our generosity and our ability. The God Who dwells inside us is not limited. And it's His power in us that allows us to be generous in the first place. Have I ever experienced that power beyond my power? Has it been recently?
