Our offering is a sacrifice, and it comes in many forms. It’s not just money, but also time, talents, and treasures. An offering is an act of love, so the greater the offering, the greater the love. Remember, the root word means to come near or to join. God set this sacrificial system up so we could draw near to Him, because that’s His heart’s desire. It’s not an afterthought. He really wants to be close to us, like loving parents want their children to be close to them.
