Several years ago, the custom in the church so the congregation bring their offerings to the next. There was a shepherd who called his congregation to give something with a very good goal. Many of the congregation who came forward with their love offerings. Among them was a little girl who suffered paralysis. Although in such circumstances, the little girl is trying to move forward to give offerings as an expression of gratitude to God. Given by a young girl who was paralyzed?
He let go of the ring from her finger and placed it on the table a bid. After completion of service, the shepherd girl came over and took the ring. Shepherd said: "I see what you're doing, is something very beautiful, but others have given quite a lot so we have enough for this purpose so that we feel that this ring will be returned to you ..."
Shepherd was very surprised with the determination and motivation this little girl who did not wish to receive back her favorite ring. The little girl answered and commenting on the direct action simultaneously shepherd is, thus: "You do not understand, I do not give the ring to my father, but I gave it to God."
With illustrations spiritual can be said that: there is also the maids or servants of God who does not understand that giving is the true church to the glory of God. Therefore it is not surprising that many times misused church offerings. So did the church. still do not understand that there is a provision in the form of offerings to the glory of God. If the servant of God misuse our offerings, it is not our business anymore but a business man of God and God.
Therefore, if we give, let it be with the sincerity and earnestness.
