All Things Are Thine

"But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee."  I Chronicles 29:14.  We are to give unto God of the blessings that He has given to us.  Our offerings to God are to be given with a willing heart and a generous spirit.  We do not give what is our own for we have nothing.  What we possess is of God.  Without His generosity, we would have nothing.  All that is in the heaven and the earth belongs to God.  We only return to God what is His.  God has given to us so that we might use those gifts for His glory.  We are to be good stewards of God's blessings.  We can give to God because He has given to us.  We serve God because He allows us to serve Him.  Our heart is rich with His praise because of His goodness bestowed upon us.  Because God has shared with us, we can share with Him.  Let us never begrudge gifts and service given to God for all is His which He has given to us.
