Give It Up

God doesn’t love like we do. We love based on whether we receive love. If someone wrongs us we don’t love them back. God loves regardless of whether He is loved or not. God is always there and is always ready to bless. Our ungratefulness in our hearts keeps God from blessing us. There is no way for a person to write down all of the grateful things that God has done for them. Even if there was nothing else to thank God for just to know you’re saved is enough. God made a way to go to Heaven. Jesus came to earth and walked a sinless life while He walked on this earth. He lived through all of the temptations of a human just like us. He lived with a target on His head just to make way for those who believed in Him would be saved. He suffered while in the hands of the soldiers, bled, and died on the cross for our sins. The ultimate sacrifice.  Do you feel the Holy Spirit of God? Did you know that God does not need you? The world doesn’t need you. Once a person dies they will be forgotten shortly thereafter. God didn’t need us at the beginning of time and He doesn’t need us now. We are the debtor in this relationship with Him. He invited us to be a part of His family. God knows what you can give and why you can give it. Why should we worship God? Stop making excuses on what you can or can’t do for God. I can’t sing, I can’t witness, I can’t pray, I can’t teach, etc. Stop comparing yourself to others and lying to yourself. The devil wants you to sit and do nothing for God. The little widow woman went to the temple. She could have simply sat at home and not gone that day. She was the poorest among the rest but she pushed the embarrassment aside and pushed her way through the crowd. Those surrounding her were made rich by people like her. Those people gave much into the offering yet God was not pleased with their offerings. However, this little lady gave all she had, 2 mites. Once the sound of those mites hit the plate Jesus knew that it was worth more than all of the others. God received her giving and refused the others simply because she gave by heart and not by boasting. You could give all you have to give and God refuse it if it’s not given with a heart of God. One of the simplest giving is failing not to assemble yourselves, and attending your church. However, you can attend and not give to God and just show up to be seen by others. The easy part is thanking God for what He’s given to us.
