Rich man, poor man

2 Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

Christ was rich and became poor that I, who was poor, might become rich.
Is it therefore true then that as I become rich in Christ, I must become poor so that others might also become rich in Him?

Life, abundant life, is to be given away.
The blessings of God are not to be hoarded or lorded but re-warded to others.

How can I give myself away today?
To whom can I pass on the blessings of God?
Where can I make a blessings transfer today?

Lord, make me generous in all things; in time, in treasures, in talent and in tenderness. Amen.
