"For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have." -II Corinthians 8:12 (NIV)
When we look around us, we see many different people. If we stop and take time to observe, we can see that each person has unique talents, abilities, or styles. Each person has different gifts to give. As we consider our gifts, we shouldn't compare our gifts to the gifts of others.
We each have acceptable gifts to give to God. God is not looking for the same offerings from each of us. He is not looking for us to give more than what we have or something different from what we have. God has blessed each of us and we should all approach our giving in the same way. As we consider the blessings and gifts we have been given and our offerings back to God, we should focus on our attitude toward our offerings. We need to approach our giving with a willing heart. Through our willingness we can show our love for God and fulfill our unique and individual roles in His Kingdom!
Search your heart and give back to God with a willing heart!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all of the blessings in my life. Help me to always approach giving with a willing heart. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
