God does not want our money, our good intentions, or anything that we have. What does God want? A broken spirit. He wants us to repent, turning to Him in faith for forgiveness and His gifts. Note what He says in Psalm 51:16-19.
"For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart O God you will not despise. Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; build up the walls of Jerusalem; then will you delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar."
So build up Your Church, O Lord, grant us Your gifts, so that we might delight in giving You the thanks and praise You deserve.
