I shall offer what I have left
It’s only fitting because I’m kept
By obligations, many you see
As long as I do something, it’s generosity,
Towards God
Our God is an Almighty God who sees and knows everything that we do. When we are presenting our offerings to God, these offerings have to be genuine and from the heart. Whether these offerings are monetary, material possessions, or in the form for edible consumption, they have to be wholly and intentionally given from our hearts. For example, if an individual receives a re-gifted item for Christmas and later on discovers that the item was a “hand-me-down”, that individual would obviously feel disappointed and quite frankly, insulted. The reason why is because that individual was not cherished or considered as important. Rather, he or she is regarded as “second-hand” or unimportant. We must not act that way, especially towards our Heavenly Father. Deuteronomy 15:21 states:
“And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice unto the Lord thy God.”
Any gift or offering that has been used, tainted, or previously possessed must not be bestowed towards God. God can never be looked down on, degraded, or insulted. He must also not be ignored or put away to the side for a later time. For everything that He has done for us, we have to give back to God every day. So, take some time to reflect upon yourselves and what you can offer for God. He will always be there for His children through the good and the bad.
May God Bless You All ~
