OFFER CHEERFULLY TO GOD


Today is the last day of this month, and I am tempted to ask you this question. What have you sacrificed to God in return for what He has done for you? Have you really done enough for Him for all the benefits you have received? 😳😳

In Mark 10, 28-31, Peter asked Jesus: What about us? We have left everything and followed you.
So what was Peter and the rest of the disciples going to get for all they have given up?

My dear friend(s), let me direct the question to you now: for all that you gave up and sacrificed for the Lord, what did you get? How were you rewarded? (If ever you were rewarded!)

No cause for alarm.  The author of the book of Sirach has exhorted us to make our sacrifices cheerfully, because just as the Lord God has given us, so we too must be able to give up what is even rightfully ours (Sirach 35,1-12).

There is no gain saying that a virtuous man's sacrifice is acceptable, and its memorial will not be forgotten. Have you built a school for you community? Have you build a Church, hospital, village square for your people? Have you given people scholarship? Have you bought a car for a priest? Have you built a house for a widow? etc.

God has not started blessing you yet. Your blessings this year shall be so great that people shall use your name for their discussion 🙏🏻🙏🏻. Learn to do good, and avoid evil. Rabbi loves you! 😘😘

Good morning
Rabbi
