Cgm was good yesterday. as i prepared for the offering, i remembered what someone said.

to never let an offering bucket pass her by. even if what is left in her purse is meant for lunch or dinner, she would still give.

it really convicted me a lot. just like what king david said in 2 samuel 24: 24:
"i will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing."

really, david could have any land he wanted given the fact that he was a king. but he insisted that he will buy the threshing floor that araunah offered to give him. and then the LORD answered prayer in behalf of the land, and the plague on Israel was stopped.

all i had in my wallet was 2 bucks. now, that is not a lot for an adult.
just enough to buy a mac chicken. just nice for 6 packs of tissue. just nice for a bowl of dessert.
but it's enough to fill my stomach.
as i gave, i teared. just as the offering has touched my heart, it will touch God's.

unequal amount, equal sacrifices.

while we sat and worshipped, i was thinking if i had lost the passion to serve.
definitely, serving God requires time, effort and money.
week after week, the same people, the same problem. i told God, that the others helping out in the cell are more qualified than i am. what can i do?

but God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

i am weak but he is strong.

But he said to me, ''My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in your weakness."

for when i am weak then i am strong.
