You know the generous act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich.
2 Corinthians 8:9

Prayer

Mighty Lord, I am awed that you descend into my spiritual poverty. You see my empty efforts to excel and perfect. How blessed I am that, in your mercy, I am saved from my own insufficiency. Gladly I receive your gracious love. Here. Now. I am filled with gratitude that your might embraces my mite. Amen.
