Nothing Else Matters

When God's presence enters our lives and we respond with full surrender, it will put all our skill, ability, ‘circumstantial’ happiness, anything we have to give, into context. God sweeps all we have, and are, into something bigger... Himself.

In Him, we realize just how small we are and how big He is. Awe is the expression that should come through us. Awe, that GOD condescends to allow us to even submit our small offerings.

Offerings, that in our eyes, seem big and are all we are. But, He examines them against the righteousness of His Son. If those offerings are coming via that context, that alone makes anything we offer, acceptable. He reciprocates with:

Psalm 16:11 “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy;

at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

In the big scheme of it all God doesn’t want our sacrifices. He really only wants our broken heart and a spirit filled with contrition. Anything we offer must come through that framework, nothing else matters.
