But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:33
God deserves our first fruits, not our leftovers. I apply this to my time, my money, my service, and my heart. He died on the Cross for me, and I will honor that sacrifice for me until the day I die. He died so that I could live, so how dare I live a life for myself? My husband and I have changed our lives completely, and we now pledge that everything we do is to glorify God. He is the center of our home, and He comes first. I do not tithe what is left of a paycheck, I give to God first. I do not choose to attend church on Sunday when there is nothing else to do on my calendar. I do not serve in the ministry when it is convenient. And I certainly do not turn to God only when I am in need of something. Let us live for God. Let us give back to our loving Father. He deserves to be first.
