Here’s a word from God for one or more of you:
You’ve been looking at the story of Abel and Cain, where Abel’s sacrifice was respected by God and Cain’s sacrifice wasn’t.
You’ve been trying to get God to respect your sacrifice like Abel, trying to figure out what to do to be pleasing to God. You’ve been more conscious of this than God’s sacrifice, the Lord Jesus Christ whipped, beaten, spit on and hung on a cross for you. Your sacrifice cannot compare.
Instead of focusing on the quality of your own sacrifice, start focusing on the respectability and extravagance of His.
This is literally going to change the way you see God, how you interact with Him and how easy it becomes to get into faith to receive good things from Him.
He loves you.
