DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 25; Job 31; Matt. 13:24-43

…neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. 2 Samuel 24:24

He was a child from a middle class family, while his friend was from a poor family. When he had eaten his lunch, his poor friend would take his crusts, his apple cores and if he was lucky, the occasional dropped raisin and eat them. The boy who had eaten his lunch felt he was doing his friend a favour. Are we guilty of the same thing? Do we give our Lord the scraps, or do we, like the widow lady, give Him our all? —Janet Fleming

Today, in love His words I hear, “I died to set you free,
I gave My life, My all for you; will you give less for Me?”
—Janet Fleming
