When Paul wrote these words he was referring to Jesus
and to the gift of charity shown in the generosity of the Corinthians.
Their benevolence was not of themselves but the work of Jesus in them.

So it is with us.  We are not naturally good.  
 Our goodness is only through the grace of God.
The gift of His grace through Jesus cannot be fully comprehended
and cannot be put into words that even begin to describe this gift.

When you praise and give thanks to God for His gift of Jesus
and His work in you are you able to fully express what you think and feel?

Blessings this day of grace,
