When we build with LEGOs, it's easy to think the big pieces are cooler or more important than the smaller pieces. However, every brick matters. The smaller pieces that appear more simple hold everything together. Without them, the whole build would fall apart. We wouldn't get the detail we aspire without them. Imagine trying to build a car without the small pieces! How difficult would that be?!
In the same way, we sometimes think we're the "big" LEGO pieces and we forget about how important the smaller ones are. Scripture tells us that we're one body with many parts (1 Corinthians 12:12-27). And when we give, it's important it is from the heart... God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7). Going back to the time of Moses, he invited the Israelites to bring gifts to build the tabernacle (Exodus 35). Everyone brought what they hadâgold, stones, fabric, leather, and even their skills. But what mattered most wasnât the giftâit was the heart behind it. When we give our time, resources, or skills freely, we don't think about how big or small the gift is - our heart is set on Christ and how we can serve Him.
This week, how can we give God the credit for what we do to help further the kingdom? How can we focus on why we give instead of what we give?
Have a great week, CSBC Family!
