Conclusion
The best offering God wants from us is our heart for his Work, in our dedication He works every day. We must give God the excellence of our being, our best offering in praise and worship to God, we must give the honor due to His name, we must give our time to Him, for Him to administer. The word says that when we give to the Lord, it will be given to us in abundance; pressed down and shaken together (Lk 6:38).
