And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD’S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
Today's Thought: You should give and not lose it.
A chaplain visited soldiers seriously wounded in battle. When he came to a young soldier who lost his arm, he offered some comforting words: You have lost an arm in a great cause. The young man answered: No, Sir, I didn't lose it, I gave it.
The Christian life is best lived when we don't cling to everything and anything for ourselves. It is the recognition of the grace of God being extended to us that allows us to be grateful for the opportunity to do so.
Christ didn't lose His life on the cross, but He gave it. This should inspire to be a willing sacrifice to anything God wants to do with our lives.
