“I want to suggest
that you finish what you started to do a year ago…having started the ball
rolling so enthusiastically, you should carry this project through to
completion just as gladly…let your enthusiastic idea at the start be equaled by
your realistic action now.”—2 Corinthians 8:10-11, Living Bible
In the midst of a passage on a lifestyle of giving comes
this hurts-so-good-exhortation for follow-through on all of our unfinished
projects and good intentions, for resolve in our vows and commitments, for integrity…for putting
actions to words.
And in our day, for the people in our lives, nowhere is this
more needed than at the many times we say these words…
“I’ll be praying for
you.”
