Scraps

Today i was reading in the book of Malachi and it was taliking about Esau and Jacob and how God loved Jacob and hated Esau then it went on to talk about the preist bringing there sacrafice's to the altar all blemished,blind ,lame, sick bringing there scraps that they really didnt need or want and giving it to the Lord . I started thinking about when i go to church or even when i am at home what kinda offering or sacrafice am i giving to God? Am i giving Him the scraps whatever is left over from my busy day of running around watchn TV , emails, facebook, goingout to eat,playn,working out and then relaxn till bed time and then giving him the little time i have left to pray and read till i fall asleep more or less the scraps. Then at Church when its time to worship and lift up His name am i giving it all i have to sing to Him and worship the one who decides to give me my next breath the One who saved me who died for me the one who said I will be praised . He dont need our scraps hes want nothing to do with them so think about this when the offering comes around and you throw a couple bucks in there the scraps after you made sure you got everything you needed,or when your singing if your not gonna give Him your praise dont even give Him your half hearted attempt He wants all of us.
In India when someone decides to follow Christ they pretty much give up there whole way of life and become outcast by giving all of themselves to this awsome Creator to them they dont have much but they give it all. In America its just the opposite we have it all even the poor have it made compared to those in India we accept Christ so we can go to Heaven give a little here and there enough to make ourselves feel good like were doing God a favor he dont want those scraps until your ready to give it all He wont be able to show you how truely amazing He really is or we'll just be to blind to seecheck out Malachi chapters 1-3 very good insight to what the Lord wants for us if we'll just give Him our heart and life!
