The Best I have

When we offer something to God, whether it is our time, energy or money, there are two extreme of false points of view:

1. Give “whatever is available” because God is good and accept us whatever we are

2. We have to do all effort to give the perfect one for HIM

Of course God loves us whatever we are, without any requirements! However do not forget that He is also A KING, who deserves more than “whatever” or “just enough”.

It does not mean that we have to work all effort to become perfect so he will be pleased to our offering. It is not right if we feel that whatever we do will never be enough to make God pleased.

Actually, God seek the best offering that we have. What He seeks is “your best”, not “the best”. So now what do you have in your hand? Do not give half-heartedly when you give to God. Probably it is still far from perfection, but if that is your best that you have now, do not doubt that he will be pleased to receive it

In Christ abundant grace

Ps. Caleb and Lusi (IFGF Tokyo)
