Matthew 6:19-21 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
I have to diagree with other people that believe the best way to show your love and your offering to God is through our finances. Sure almost everything is run by this pero does that mean na eto lang ung pwede?
To clarify first myself, im not saying that offering money is bad. What I just want to say is that there are other ways to offer and to give and to store things for us rather than that of finances. E panu ung mga walang kaya? E panu ung mga walang wala? Sure meron sila kahit konti e pano kung nakalaan un sa buhay ng ibang tao – like their families and other people that are in need? Diba mas magiging masaya naman si God kung ung kabutihan mo e mas nababahagi sa ibang tao sa pamamagitan mo? Ung tipong kahit wala ka, gumagalaw ka ng paunti unti para makatulong as ibang tao. I personally think this is the BEST offering that you could give – your life na really fulfilled.
Point is, its not about the money money money, we dont need your money money money. Haha, napakanta bigla. Anyway there are other things that could be offered to God naman diba? I mean other than money or anything, like public services, free services sa mga nangangailangan atbp. Sure we will need to use money, pero hindi naman ung pera ung titignan dapat e, ung effort at ung intent ng heart natin. So kahit anung yaman mo pa, sa story nga sa bible, may nagbigay na pulubi at mga mayayaman ng offering nila pero sabi ni Jesus mas malaki inambag ng babae kasi nandun na lahat. So I personally think that kahit anu pa ipresent natin, kung wala ung heart natin dun, balewala.
Im not really comfortable when it comes to finances. Haha, halata naman siguro.
The best way to show our love for Christ and our offering? Simple lang. Sarili natin. Un lang. Wala nang iba.
God bless!!
