Jesus might say:
You may run to and fro serving me, giving until you are exhausted. You may give inordinate amounts of money to my causes, thinking you are bringing me joy, puffing yourself up. But I own all the gold in all the world, and I desire faith and rest, above sacrifice. I need nothing from man. Do not delude yourself by becoming drained for me. Burnout is not obedience. So, let the giving of thanks be your sacrifice to God. Your thanks and your love for others bring me joy, let these be your gifts.
Love,
P.S. Author's note: This blog is written in the voice of Christ. I feel this style of writing gives people a fresh perspective and greater sense of God's presence. Denying a duty-based faith, my goal is to free people up from condemnation and burdensome rules and present a perspective of the reader's freedom and God's unconditional love and acceptance. ~ Cyndi
