Pass The Plate Please…
Good morning beautiful people, good morning. Things in our world are changing quite rapidly. The way we did things before may change forever. Yesterday, a friend and I spoke about the subject of giving. As I sought the Lord about this subject a few years ago, I felt the Lord say I am looking for the whole heart, the heart of my people.
At church that week I was asked to do a giving teaching. I took small glass hearts and put on the altar that Sunday morning. When I stood to speak, I didn’t encourage people to give a certain dollar amount or tithe in that church offering. We all know it takes money to keep the building opened, etc. and I feel that is between the person and God. What I did strongly feel was God was asking for the hearts of the people. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:21) I instructed them to pick up a heart and when they were ready, to put the heart in the offering plate. I ponder how many hearts they received.
This morning let’s pass the plate, but let’s add our whole heart, ok? If you can’t today, that’s ok too. God loves you anyway. Ask him to help you get there and he will. Amen? Amen! He loves you with his whole heart. You are his treasure.
Let’s Pray:
Father, today we commit our heart to you. Instruct us by the power of your Holy Spirit. Father, everything we are, will ever become, our worldly possessions and every part of our heart we give to you.
Father, you gave us everything. May we in return give back to you our whole hearts. Amen.
Have a blessed day God’s beautiful people. You are loved.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
