Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, from the depths of your soul:

“All their neighbors assisted them with articles of silver and gold, with goods and livestock, and with valuable gifts, in addition to all the freewill offerings.”
(Ezra 1:6)

I am so thankful You’ve given me this priceless privilege, Jesus!

When You made me

You could have turned me into a robot
You could have programmed my every

thought
word
action.

But You didn’t!

You still could…

but You don’t!

Instead, You’ve given me the power of choice.

I can choose You
or reject You.

Would rejecting You be incredibly stupid, foolish and disastrous?

Yup.

But if that’s what I choose to do…

I can.

The tithe isn’t an option.

It’s a command.
You tell me to give You ten percent.

When I do…
You feel my love.

But with freewill offerings

I’m the one who decides to show You still more…

how much I love You.
