A Daily Devotional

About giving in pain:

2 Corinthians 8:2 Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. (NIV)

Giving in pain, giving while we suffer pain, or giving in the midst of our deepest trials of pain may be the severest test of faith. To remain faithful in pain is a hard test requiring we bite the bullet. Our greatest test of life is to remain faithful in pain and then give because of our faith. When we are suffering in pain we are turned inward because of our natural self-protective instincts. When we give in our pain, we have not only gone against our natural instincts but we have defeated the power of sin and darkness. The power of sin and darkness wants you to think of yourself when you hurt. The power of God's light and love turns you outward causing you to give and help others when pain and suffering overtake you. We must be clear about the motivation for our giving when we hurt. When we give, we must not give to ease our pain or alleviate our trials. When we give, we must give because we see the need of others.
