Lessons for Living (Audio)

Imagine sitting down for a meal with someone that you love and care for. You put all of the food in front of yourself, and when the person asks for some you say, “Let me just eat what I can, then you can have what's left over.” What a horrible way to treat someone you love! That's what we do to God when we give him our leftovers. He desires the firstfruits of our labor...and He deserves it. After all, everything we have is all because of Him. Not only will He be honored by your giving, He will surely bless a giving heart. But, don't give with a resentful spirit. That's like reluctantly giving your loved one some crumbs and then glaring at them as they eat.
