Amos 5:21 “I hate, I despise your feast days, and I do not savour your sacred assemblies.
I used to hate coming home and smelling tripe being cooked; to me it was a smell that turned my stomach and not one that encouraged me to eat!
Just as we really do hate some smells, God does not like what we bring to Him unless we are bringing it from our hearts.
If we do it just because that is what has been done before, we may as well offer tripe instead of a nice joint.
God would rather we gave less, but more quality and with more love and feeling than give bucket loads of rubbish!
