Malachi’s message to an errant nation to heed who

and lame animals instead of the spotless ones required.

How can I offer anything less to Him in return?
How can I offer anything less to Him in return?
Yet, I do
all the time—I husband my resources thinking that I must conserve like I do

Romans 12:1 tells me to offer my body as a living and holy
sacrifice. No compromises—No holding back for fear there won’t be enough for
tomorrow, just giving my all to Him.
What are you holding back? Will you commit to give God everything you've got? (CLICK TO TWEET)
