"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)
In the season of gift giving, we can sometimes get preoccupied with finding the perfect gift. We ask ourselves how much we should spend, what would the person like, and what gift would be "good enough" for our friend or family member. When we approach God, we should be asking ourselves different questions.
When we bring our gifts to God, we don't need to worry if they are big enough or good enough. Our focus should be on the willingness in our hearts. If we are willing to be live in God and willing to give from what we have, then our gifts will be accepted by God and used for His glory. We don't have to look for more to satisfy God, we just have to willingly give from the blessings we have received!
You already have the perfect gift for God. Give willingly of yourself and be accepted by God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for accepting what I have to offer You. Help me to always give willingly with faith and trust in Your acceptance of and caring for me. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
