In Matthew 8:4, the Lord said "See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."
Each day of our lives is a blessing and miracle from God that needs to be reciprocated. The Lord offered us a way to express or extend to Him our thanksgiving through tithes and love offerings. Offer your gifts as a sign of gratitude to God!
Most of us give because we expect something in return. We stand by the Lord's promise that if we give our tithes and love offerings, these will be returned to us a thousand times more. Although this is true for no word will ever return to the Lord void, we should offer our gifts with the purest intentions of the heart. Anything becomes of value not by way of receiving and keeping but once you share and give it away.
God loves a cheerful giver and bible tells us to give until it hurts. Advancing this further, "Give and Offer to God until it hurts no more!"
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, the best we could offer you is ourselves. We may not be as wealthy and rich as others who can give more but we know that such is not the measure, for what matters to you is the intent of our hearts in giving. Please bless us with your love that covers everything that we desire in life. There is no greater sacrifice than giving up your own life for our sake. All glory and praise to you now and forever. Amen.
