Pure in your eyes only

Cain’s offering was given with good intentions but his actions spoke differently (Gen. 4:3-7). People are pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives (Prov. 16:2). By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice (Heb 11:4). Abel gave his best to God with a pure heart. Cain brought the leftovers and he gave grudgingly. When we don’t do what’s right (Gen. 4:7), we get angry and often depressed (Gen. 4:6) because we were ignored or rejected. The lesson: always give God your best - time, talent, treasure. Learn from mistakes. Don’t allow your ego to rule over you. Cain took matters into his hands opposed to seeking God and repenting. In everything you do for God give him your best with a happy heart.
