What are free-will offerings for us today?- In the old Testament, they were animals but now, after Jesus offering himself to redeem us and our pardon to God, they are something living in your heart, that means something to you that you have maintained to support your comforts and well being or health, something you benefit from or profit from. For examples in general, your time, resources, and money. Keeping in mind that God loves a cheerful giver. He not only wants that given in love but the cheerfulness sustained in us too so He can benefit us through it on His terms, with His help. God will never leave us empty without sustaining and filling us with more of Him if He has called us to do something for a purpose. God is in the business of creating and sustaining as well as changing our hearts by the way that we think. He wants and needs to be in the center of all that, not our comforts, devices, or gadgets, or other meaning in which we live from day to day. We are called to RUN to GOD with all our hearts so we will win the prize, our eternity with our savior! We don't have time to look around but at the prize, JESUS! Many are called but few are chosen. Too many think we are ready but far too often put something else ahead of God in our lives! We are called to come out of this world and to follow Christ. Our world and countries are in more and more danger and even more than the public can see. We need to get on our knees sort of speak and seek God with ALL our hearts, minds, and souls every day. We MUST pray and give free will offerings to God for our biggest concerns that face us today. We look out side and see a bright, beautiful new day with warm sun and butterflies but we don't see the leaders around the world working together for our slavery and destruction and their benefits. We don't see the spiritual enemies each day that stalk us and conspire against our well being and eternity. We choose what we want to think about but it is most important to think about what God has in mind! I'm urging everyone to keep up the prayers and free-will offerings as often as you and I can! Go with God! -Laura Cosgrove
