Tiny Offering

Posted on by Marla
Standing before the throne of God, what can I possibly bring, all I have is this tiny offering…
It’s been broken and hurt more times than I can count and putting it back together well, there are cracks and scars only he has seen, surely, he wouldn’t want this offering.
It’s all I have to offer though, should I give it, or should I go and leave nothing in its place.
The Lord stands and extends his grace…
Child, that’s all I’ve ever wanted…
That broken, wounded, and scarred heart of yours…
You see, what I do best is mend those broken hearts and bind the wounds that bleed…
Your tiny offering is all I need!
Give me your heart!
 Here it is Lord, take all of me!
And as I bow in humility, my contrite heart is my tiny offering…
I give it willingly to thee!
More precious than the rarest of jewels
This tiny offering
For there is nothing that could ever replace
It’s value to the King!

Matthew 9:10-13 New International Version
10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Proverbs 23:26 New King James Version
26 My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4

  1. This reminds me of when about 20 years ago I had a severe trial that I had to resolve to literally lay on the carpet and surrender myself to Him saying “Lord I will still love you no matter what”. I found such peace after this that for some months I knew was the peace and joy of the Lord though circumstances did not change. I did give Him my heart willingly and watched Him carry me. Some things in life seem to serve as a test of our affections- will we love and serve Him regardless?!?? Your post just brought me back and I could sense God hovering over me with such words. 😀❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙌
