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.

Forsooth the Lord said to Abram, Go thou out of thy land, and of thy kindred, and of the house of thy father, and come thou into the land which I shall show to thee;Soothly hunger was made in the land; and Abram went down into Egypt, to be a pilgrim there, for hunger had the mastery in the land.And when he was nigh to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, I know that thou art a fair woman,and that when Egyptians shall see thee, they shall say, It is his wife, and they shall slay me, and keep thee.Therefore, I beseech thee, say that thou art my sister, that it be well to me for thee, and that my life live for the love of thee.And so when Abram had entered into Egypt, Egyptians saw the woman, that she was full fair;and the princes told to Pharaoh, and praised her with him; and the woman was taken up into the house of Pharaoh.Forsooth they used well Abram for her; and sheep, and oxen, and asses, and servants, and servantesses, and she-asses, and camels were given to him.Forsooth the Lord beat Pharaoh and his house with most vengeances for Sarai, the wife of Abram.And Pharaoh called Abram, and said to him, What is it that thou hast done to me? why showedest thou not to me that she was thy wife?for what cause saidest thou, that she was thy sister, that I should take her into wife to me? Now therefore lo! thy wife; take thou her, and go.and I shall make thee into a great folk, and I shall bless thee, and I shall magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed;And Pharaoh commanded to men on Abram, and they led forth him, and his wife, and all things that he had.I shall bless them that bless thee, and I shall curse them that curse thee; and all kindreds of [the] earth shall be blessed in thee.
Forsooth after that Abram began to be of ninety years and nine, the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, I am Almighty God; go thou before me, and be thou perfect;This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, betwixt me and you, and thy seed after thee; each male kind of you shall be circumcised,and ye shall circumcise the flesh of your man’s rod, that it be into a sign of bond of peace betwixt me and you.A young child of eight days shall be circumcised in you, all male kind in your generations, as well a born servant [of your household], as a servant bought, shall be circumcised,and whoever is of your kindred, he shall be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh into everlasting bond of peace.A man whose flesh of his rod shall not be circumcised, that man shall be done away from his people; for he made void my covenant.Also God said to Abraham, Thou shalt not call Sarai, thy wife, Sarai, but Sarah;and I shall bless her, and of her I shall give to thee a son, whom I shall bless, and he shall be into nations, and kings of peoples shall be born of him.Abraham felled down on his face, and laughed in his heart, and said, Guessest thou, whether a child shall be born to a man of an hundred years, and Sarah of ninety years shall bear a child?And he said to the Lord, I would that Ishmael might live before thee.And the Lord said to Abraham, Sarah, thy wife, shall bear a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I shall make my covenant with him into everlasting bond of peace, and to his seed after him;and I shall set my covenant of peace betwixt me and thee; and I shall multiply thee full greatly.

Our Lord God made a bond of peace with us in Horeb;Thou shalt not speak false witness-ing against thy neighbour.Thou shalt not covet thy neigh-bour’s wife, nor his house, nor his field, nor his servant, nor his hand-maid, nor his ox, nor ass, and all things, that is, nothing of all the things, that be his.The Lord spake these words to all your multitude, in the hill, from the midst of the fire, and of the cloud, and of the mist, with great voice, and he added to nothing more; and he wrote those words in two tables of stone, which he gave to me.And after that ye heard the voice from the midst of the darknesses, and ye saw the hill burn, all ye princes of the lineages, and the greater men in birth, nighed to me,and ye said, Lo! our Lord God hath showed to us his majesty and greatness; we heard his voice from [the] midst of the fire, and we have proved today that a man liveth, God speaking with man.Why therefore shall we die, and shall this greatest fire devour us? For if we hear more the voice of our Lord God, we shall die.What is each man, that he hear the voice of God living, that speaketh from [the] midst of the fire, as we have heard, and that he may live?Rather nigh thou, and hear thou all things which our Lord God shall say to thee; and thou shalt speak to us, and we shall hear, and do those words.And when the Lord had heard this, he said to me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to thee; they have spoken well all things.Who shall give that they have such soul, that they dread me, and keep all my commandments in all time, that it be well to them, and to the sons of them, without end?he made not covenant with our fathers, but with us that be present, and live.

If after that thou hearest these dooms, thou keepest, and doest them, thy Lord God shall keep to thee covenant, and mercy, which he swore to thy fathers.And he shall love thee, and multiply thee, and he shall bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy wheat, and thy vintage, thine oil, and thy droves of beasts, and the flocks of thy sheep, on the land for which he swore to thy fathers, that he should give it to thee.

God forbid. But by the guilt of them health is made to heathen men, that they pursue them.That if the guilt of them be riches of the world, and the making less [or the diminishing] of them be riches of heathen men, how much more the plenty of them?But I say to you, heathen men, for as long as I am apostle of heathen men, I shall honour my ministry [or my service],if in any manner I stir my flesh for to follow, and that I make some of them safe.For if the loss of them is the reconciling of the world, what is the taking up [of them], but life of dead men? [or but life to dead?]For if a little part of that that is tasted be holy, the whole gobbet is holy; and if the root is holy, also the branches.What if any of the branches be broken, when thou were a wild olive tree, art grafted [or art set in] among them, and art made fellow of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,do not thou have glory against the branches. For if thou gloriest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.Therefore thou sayest, The branches be broken, that I be grafted in [or I be inset].God hath not put away his people, which he before-knew. Whether ye know not, what the scripture saith in Elijah? How he prayeth God against Israel,
[Zain.] Lord, have thou mind on thy word to thy servant; in which word thou hast given hope to me.

[Forsooth for no man is justified in the law with God, it is known, for a rightful man liveth by faith.]But the law is not of belief, but he that doeth those things of the law, shall live in them.But Christ again-bought us [or delivered us] from the curse of the law, and was made accursed for us; for it is written, Each man is cursed that hangeth in the tree;that among the heathen the blessing of Abraham were made in Jesus Christ, that we receive the promise of Spirit through belief.

My soul, bless thou the Lord; my Lord God, thou art magnified greatly. Thou hast clothed acknowledging and fairness;And thou sendest out wells into great valleys; waters shall pass betwixt the midst of hills.All the beasts of the field shall drink; wild asses shall abide in their thirst, that is, to be filled in their thirst.[The] Birds of the air shall dwell on those; from the midst of the stones they shall give voices.And thou moistest [the] hills of their higher things; the earth shall be [ful] filled of the fruit of thy works.And thou bringest forth hay to beasts; and herb to the service of men. That thou bring forth bread of the earth;and that wine make glad the heart of men. That he make glad the face with oil; and that bread make steadfast the heart of man.The trees of the field shall be [full-]filled, and the cedars of the Lebanon, which he planted;sparrows shall make nest there. The house of the gyrfalcon is the leader of those [or them];high hills be refuge to harts; the stone is refuge to urchins.He made the moon into times; the sun knew his going down.and thou art clothed with light, as with a cloth. And thou stretchest forth heaven as a skin;Thou hast set darknesses, and night is made; all beasts of the wood shall go therein.Lions’ whelps roaring for to ravish; and to seek of God meat to them-selves.The sun is risen, and those [or they] be gathered together; and those [or they] shall be set in their couches.A man shall go out to his work; and to his working, till to the eventide.Lord, thy works be magnified full much, thou hast made all things in wisdom; the earth is filled with thy possessions.This sea is great and large to hands; there be creeping beasts, of which is no number. Little beasts with [the] great;ships shall pass there. This dragon which thou hast formed, for to scorn him.All things abide of thee; that thou give to them meat in time.When thou shalt give to them, they shall gather; when thou shalt open thine hand, all things shall be filled with goodness.But when thou shalt turn away thy face, they shall be troubled; thou shalt take away the spirit of them, and they shall fail; and they shall turn again into their dust.and thou coverest with waters the higher parts thereof. Which settest a cloud thy ascending; which goest on the feathers of winds.Send out thy spirit, and they shall be formed of the new or reformed of new; and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.The glory of the Lord be into the world; the Lord shall be glad in his works.Which beholdeth the earth, and maketh it to tremble; which toucheth hills, and those [or they] smoke.I shall sing to the Lord in my life; I shall say psalm to my God, as long as I am.My speech be merry or mirth to him; forsooth I shall delight in the Lord.Sinners fail from the earth, and wicked men fail, so that they be not; my soul, bless thou the Lord.Which makest spirits thine angels; and thy ministers a burning fire.Which hast founded the earth on his stableness; it shall not be bowed into the world of world.
