VERSES FOR OFFERINGS

Think about giving – it's truly beautiful in God's eyes. When you're preparing your offering, remember it should be your best, given with a sincere heart. It should be a joyful act, knowing how much God has already blessed us with, even when we don't deserve it. He's been incredibly generous, hasn't He?

If you only give what's leftover, well, life might just mirror that back to you. Think about it – give as if you're giving to yourself. Don't do it out of obligation or because you expect something in return. True giving comes from the heart.

Don't make a big show of it either. It's not about getting praised or patted on the back. Let your giving be a quiet act between you and God. He sees what's in your heart, and He loves a cheerful giver. Remember what it says in 2 Corinthians 9:7: "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

Giving is an act of worship, a way to give back a portion of what God has already given us. And when God gives, He gives abundantly. When you offer from the heart, you're opening the door for even more blessings. The more you give, the more you receive. It's a beautiful cycle.


Prayer

Lord, You are the Alpha and the Omega! Father, creator of heaven and earth, You are the first and the last, the beginning and the end. In Jesus' name, I come before You with joy and gladness to thank You for Your faithfulness and provision. Your word says, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Lord Jesus, help me to be compassionate, to be sensitive to the needs of my brothers and sisters in faith and to my neighbor. Help me to be a reflection of Your love, for that pleases Your heart and is a sweet offering in Your presence. I offer my heart to worship and honor You with my possessions, with the work of my hands, for from what I have received from You, I give back to You. Today, I renounce selfishness, self-centeredness, indifference, and stinginess. I give You my best because You gave Your best out of love for us. Receive my offering, and may it rise as a sweet aroma to Your presence. Your word says, "Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously." Lord, may I, in the same way, be a channel of blessing and sow into the lives of others. Grant me, Lord, a generous and giving heart so that my life may be a pleasing offering to You. I firmly believe that my reward comes from the kingdom of heaven and that everything I give to those in need is as if I give it to You, my Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen.
