offering

When there is pain involved in the sacrifice, and the offering you hold up to Me is covered in tears then the altar of your spirit becomes a holy place. Pain and tears, as you deny your flesh, cleanse the altar and make it holy. The offering of pain is acceptable in My sight because it is a true offering of sacrifice, faith and Love. This is true worship. Colossians 1:24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions for the sake of His body, which is the church. Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.   2 Timothy 3:12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted 1 Peter 4:1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin. 2 Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God.
