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.

And he wrote them in two tables of stone and delivered them unto me.¶ And it came to pass when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness and saw the mountain that burned with fire that ye came near unto me, even all the princes of your tribes and your elders;and ye said, Behold, the Lord our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire; we have seen this day that God does talk with man, and he lives.Now, therefore, why should we die?

No, in no wise; but rather through their fall, saving health is come unto the Gentiles to provoke them unto jealousy.And if the fall of them is the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more shall their fullness be?For (I call you Gentiles) inasmuch as I am truly the apostle of the Gentiles, my honorable ministry,if in any manner I may provoke my nation to jealousy and cause some of them to be saved.For if the casting away of them is the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?For if the firstfruit is holy, so shall the rest be; and if the root is holy, so shall be the branches.And if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them and hath been made participant of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree,do not boast against the branches. But if thou boast, know that thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee.Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.God has not cast away his people whom he knew beforehand. Know ye not what the scripture says of Elijah? how speaking to God against Israel, he said,

For if through the offense of that one many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of one man, Jesus the Christ, has abounded unto many.Nor was it in the same manner as by one sin, likewise also the gift; for the judgment truly came of one sin unto condemnation, but grace came of many offenses unto justification.For if by one offense, death reigned because of one man; much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of gifts and of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus the Christ.Therefore, in the same manner that by the iniquity of one guilt came upon all men unto condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one, grace came upon all men unto justification of life.For as by one man’s disobedience, many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.by whom we also have access by faith into this grace in which we stand and glory in hope of the glory of the sons of God.

But thou, O Lord, art a merciful and gracious God, longsuffering and plenteous in mercy and truth.
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee; bind them about thy neck; write them upon the tablet of thine heart:Do not sue a man without cause, if he has done thee no harm.Envy thou not the oppressor and choose none of his ways.For the perverse is an abomination to the Lord; but his secret is with the righteous.The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked, but he shall bless the habitation of the just.Surely he scorns the scorners; but he gives grace unto the humble.The wise shall inherit glory; but shame shall be the promotion of fools.So shalt thou find grace and good favour in the sight of God and man.

Thy truth is from generation to generation; thou hast established the earth, and it perseveres.
For thus has said the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is The Holy One; I dwell in the high place and in holiness and with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit to cause the spirit of the humble to live and to cause the heart of the contrite ones to live.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the eternal testament,make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for the ages of the ages. Amen.

I will worship the temple of thy holiness and praise thy name above thy mercy and thy truth; for thou hast made thy name to be magnificent and raised up thy spoken word above all things.
¶ Do not fear for I am with thee; do not be dismayed, for I am thy God, who strengthens thee; I will help thee always; I will always uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
I will not profane my covenant, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
¶ Not as though the word of God has been deficient. For not all the descendants of Israel are Israelites;
Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my slave whom I have chosen that ye may know and believe me and understand that I am he; before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
and remember his covenant with them and repent according to the multitude of his mercies.
he doubted not the promise of God, with unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,
The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; thy mercy, O Lord, endures for ever; forsake not the works of thine own hands.
¶ Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty,¶ Thou art he who sends the springs into the valleys, which run among the mountains.They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.Next to them the fowls of the heavens have their habitation; they sing among the leaves.He waters the mountains from his chambers; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.He causes the hay to grow for the cattle and grass for the service of man, that he may bring forth bread out of the earthand wine that makes glad the heart of man, making his face to shine with oil and bread which sustains man’s heart.The trees of the Lord are satisfied; the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,that the birds may make their nests there: the stork makes her house among the fir trees.The high mountains are a refuge for the wild goats, and the rocks for the conies.¶ He appointed the moon for times and seasons; the sun knows his going down.who dost cover thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain,Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest move.The young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from God.The sun arises, they withdraw and lay themselves down in their dens.Man goes forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom thou hast made them all; the earth is full of thy riches.So is this great and wide sea, wherein are innumerable creeping things, both small and great beasts.There go the ships; there is that leviathan, whom thou didst make to play therein.These wait all upon thee, that thou may give them their food in due season.Thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their spirit, they cease to exist and return to their dust.who dost establish his chambers between the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks upon the wings of the wind,Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the earth.¶ Let the glory of the Lord endure for ever; let the Lord rejoice in his works.He looks on the earth, and it trembles: he touches the mountains, and they smoke.I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.My meditation of him shall be sweet; I will be glad in the Lord.Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Halelu- JAH (Praise ye the Lord).who makes his angels spirits, his ministers a flaming fire,who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved by any age.
But the fruit of the Spirit is this: Charity, joy, peace, tolerance, gentleness, goodness, faith,meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
