recipients

Remember that when you make a sacrificial offering, you are bringing it to Us. The gift may be handed to those difficult ones, but they are not the real recipients . . . We are. So when they do not receive or remember your sacrifices, do not be disappointed. Your gift is to be for Us. If it is intended for your benefit, then it was a gift to yourself. Offer sacrifices to Us alone, and then the human response won’t hurt so much. Romans 12:1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
