Grant me a willing spirit

Are you ready for what God has in store for you? This message, based on 2 Corinthians 8:7-12, challenges us to cultivate a spirit of readiness and willingness. Readiness involves being prepared for God's work in our lives right now, not just for Jesus' return. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in this preparation, pruning us and adding what is needed for our spiritual growth. Willingness means being ready to act, serve, and give, following the example of Jesus who sacrificed for our sake. Generosity is a reflection of our faith, showing that we trust God to provide and are willing to bless others. We are encouraged to take initiative, finish what we start, and be generous with what we have. By embracing a spirit of readiness and willingness, we can be prepared for the incredible things God wants to do in and through us.
