What is Right, Not What is Left

A long while back I reported that I had seen the following on an outdoor church sign:

"Give to God what is right, not what is left."
So often we give to God what is left and not what is right of our time, talents, and money. We so often forget that God has a claim not just to a 1/10th, but to the first 1/10th, not just to the first 1/10th, but to 100%. And the truly odd thing is, that the more we give to God, the more we seem to have left, the more time we make for God, the more time we have to be our true selves.
