How can we excel at giving? The Macedonian church perfected this by giving above what they were able to in the midst of trials. Sometimes as Christians when we go through trials we focus solely on ourselves and view our needs as more important than the needs of others. Because the Macedonians came through such severe hardship their joy was expressed by giving to others. We should take on the attitude of the Macedonians and be joyful in giving especially in hard times so that we too may excel in generosity and love.
