WE CAN!

In 2 Corinthians 9 It talks about Titus a young apostle that is working for the church all over the world. in verses 16-17 it says, "I thank God, who put into the heart of Titus the same concern I have for you. For Titus not only welcomed our appeal, but he is coming to you with much enthusiasm and on his own initiative." So Titus is helping the CHURCH- not just one but the whole church and in this particular matter he is going the the church in Corinth to help collect an offering ON HIS OWN INITIATIVE!

This hit me...Titus was not sent but he saw a need and acted on it with enthusiasm because he loved God and the Church (God's Body) he served.

So What?
How many times do we see a need in our church and community and assume that someone else is going to take charge. But what would happen if we took it upon ourselves and made our initiative to do God's work in the CHURCH without being asked. How many times does God ask you to do something and then you do it? How much more could we move God's heart if we started to take initiative and not have to be asked to change this world. The opportunity is in front of us all- do you except?
