2 Corinthians 8:16-17

2Co 8:16  But thanks be to God, who placed into the heart of Titus the same eager concern I have for you.
2Co 8:17  Because he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very eager he is volunteering to go to you.

very eager volunteering

As I write this, I am beginning several months of home service this morning. I am jet-lagged, just moved into a new house and neighborhood yesterday, had to get up early and find a service station that serves coffee, then I proceeded to spill the coffee all over myself, so I had to change. I do not feel like Titus did — eager to go to new places and tell them about our mission and its mission. But I want to feel that way.

LORD, give us the heart of Titus. We want to serve you, and we want to want to serve you.
