I can never understand how precious Jesus is until I gave what I think
is very precious to me. My daughter gave me $6 just last week. I was
surprised. I asked her why. She said she wanted to give me money because
I keep giving her. I felt very warm in my heart. I knew this action
could not have come from any of my teaching. I don't feel close to my
natural parents at all, so I do not have the natural instinct to want to
do something for my parents. So naturally, I do not teach her about
honouring parents. So I know this is definitely God teaching her.
Anyway, I decided I just put the money she gave to me in the offering
bag. I did not think much about it. On Sunday service, before I popped
the money into the offering bag, I realized that I was giving something
to God which is so precious to me. Because that was my daughter's love
gift to me.
Although it's just a $6 thing, but that was from my daughter. As I
thought of that, I realized that God gave His Son Jesus to me. And at
that point, I suddenly realized how precious Jesus was to God. Of course
it cannot be compared to my $6 offering, but it just came to me that to
God, Jesus is very precious, and He gave something so precious to me? I
have been to church for few years, but only recently I realised how
precious Jesus is in God's eyes. And for God to give me something so
precious, made me realise that I must be someone that God really loves.
Maybe others may think, ya, God loves everyone, but I never understand
the main focus of God is until I realise how much He loves me. I know
humans are the heart of God, people can see it like so common thing. But
at that moment, as I reflected as I gave the offering, I felt as if I
was the only one that God loves.
