The ultimate offering to God is the gift of ourselves.  Without this, all other gifts merely mimic worship.  An un-surrendered heart singing the very best Christian songs can never be worship.  God wants you!  That’s what warms His heart.  When He has you, then He has everything. When He owns us, generosity in giving and whole-hearted worship will be the evident result.

“Seek the LORD your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.” Deuteronomy 4:29 (NASB)
