Give God the best of your self

When you have a visitor at your home, do you give them leftovers for lunch? No, instead that is the day we make some casseroles. It is when we even try something new and very special just for our guest. Then here is the question: "Does Jesus not have to be treated even better than our human guests?"

Why do you give leftovers of your time, money and talents to the One who made you? Why give what we do not need to our Savior?

Here are a few things to help us understand that we should give to God the best. Israel built the ark and sanctuary with the most precious metal, gold. In Leviticus 1, God is asking the Israelites to offer a sacrifice without blemish. why then give God what's not perfect?

The other thing is: what do you value the most in your life? If you can give time to your work and some of your hobbies, why not give the best of your time to the Lord?

The reasons why we should give the best to the Lord are as follows:
1. It is a command from God Himself. This is what God asks from all of us.
2. This is for our well being. There is a blessing and joy in giving than in receiving. (Acts 20: 35)
3. Christian life should always be sacrificial. Everything about God and our faith should come first in our life.
4. We would like to worship and honor the One who has everything in His Hand. We serve the Creator rather than the creation.


Be always Strong and of a good Courage!
