We know that God provides for us and that He is generous in providing for our needs.
And from what God has given us, then out of gratitude, we ought to offer Him something in return.
But God will always be more generous than we can ever think.
Because from the little that we offer back to God, He will even bless us more.
In the gospel, when Jesus went about proclaiming the Good News, the Twelve went along with Him.
With them were also some women who provided for Jesus and His disciples out of their own resources.
For those women, that was their offering to God as they supported Jesus in His ministry.
And we would also believe that God would also bless them more for what they have offered.
But the 1st reading also reminded us that religion cannot be used for making a profit or for selfish gains.
Let us remember that we cannot expect anything in return for what we have offered to God.
Because a love offering does not expect anything in return.
But God in His generosity will always bless a cheerful giver abundantly.
