Hebrews 13:16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
It is all very well to give what we can directly to God through praise, prayers, giving, worship and whatever other act we can because this is all very pleasing to God.
But what about the people around us? God wants us to show others kindness and love. When Christ reminded us to love our neighbours it was not just something He said!
God wants us to show love to others, not when we can afford it, but always. If it costs us, all the better because we are sacrificing to do it.
We are sacrificing to do it for His people. Not for ourselves!
