【林后9:12 】因为办这供给的事，不但补圣徒的缺乏，而且叫许多人越发感谢　神。【2 Cor9:12】This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.

主啊，万物都是本于你，依靠你，归于你。Lord, all things are from You, through You, and for You. 本于你：承认人和万物都是你创造的。From You – we confess that every person and all creation came into being because You made them. 依靠你：承认宇宙万物都因你的命令而存立，空气、阳光、雨露、食物和整个生态系统都由你供应并更新。Through You – we acknowledge that the whole universe is sustained by Your command: the air we breathe, the sun, the rain, our food, and the whole ecosystem are provided and renewed by You. 归于你：承认你是万有的主，把你赐给我们一切的主权，重新交托给你。For You – we declare that You are Lord over all, and we surrender back to You the authority over everything You have entrusted to us.

大卫为建殿奉献，呼召百姓一同乐意奉献时祷告说：“我算什么？我的民算什么？竟能如此乐意奉献？因为万物都从你而来，我们把从你而得的献给你。”（代上29:14）When David dedicated for the building of the temple and called the people to give willingly, he prayed:

‘But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from You, and we have given You only what comes from Your hand.’ (1 Chronicles 29:14) 这提醒我们，奉献不是给人，而是给神。神并不缺乏，相反祂极其丰盛。奉献是承认祂的主权和供应，用感恩的心把祂赐给我们的一切再次交托，让祂按心意分配，去祝福那些真正有需要的人。This reminds us that our offering is not to people, but to God. He is never in need—on the contrary, He is overflowing in abundance. Giving is our way of acknowledging His lordship and His provision, and with thankful hearts we return to Him what He has already entrusted to us, so that He may distribute it according to His will and bless those who are truly in need.

主啊，我承认我的有限，我看不见也不知道谁最需要，但你知道。你在天上观看，看谁愿意奉献，看谁愿意顺从圣灵的引导，去关心你所挂念的人。Lord, I confess my own limits. I cannot see or know who is most in need—but You know. From heaven You watch to see who is willing to give, who will follow the leading of Your Spirit, and who will care for those on Your heart. 主啊，我感恩你赐下丰盛，也愿将你所赐的钱财、物质交在你手中，求你怜悯困苦缺乏的人，听他们的呼求，使他们亲身经历你的帮助与恩典。Lord, I thank You for Your abundant provision, and I place in Your hands the money and resources You have given me. Have mercy on those who are struggling and in need. Hear their cry, and let them experience Your help and Your grace in a real way. 愿他们因此知道，这一切都出于耶稣的爱、圣灵的感动，从而多多感谢你，把荣耀归于你。May they come to know that all of this flows from the love of Jesus and the moving of the Holy Spirit, so that they may give thanks to You and bring glory to Your Name.

因感恩自己先被神祝福，自然也愿意去祝福别人，成为恩典流通的管道，经历“施比受更为有福”的应许。Out of gratitude for being first blessed by God, we naturally desire to bless others as well, becoming a channel through which His grace flows. In this way we experience the promise that “it is more blessed to give than to receive.”奉献能破除惧怕与自私，胜过魔鬼自我中心的辖制，使我们的性情与神的性情合一，活出慷慨、自由和宽广。Giving breaks the power of fear and selfishness, overcoming the enemy’s grip of self-centredness. It shapes our character to be one with God’s own nature, so that we live with generosity, freedom, and a wide-open heart.

主啊，我感谢你，这是你的恩典与慈爱，教导我奉献。我真实经历过：越奉献，生命越富足；越施舍，心灵越喜乐。奉献的人和接受的人都喜乐，你的心也得满足。Lord, I thank You—this is Your grace and mercy that teaches me to give. I have truly experienced that the more I give, the richer life becomes; the more I share, the greater the joy in my heart. Both the one who gives and the one who receives are filled with joy, and Your heart is pleased. 愿更多人因着奉献，脱离惧怕、贫穷与咒诅，成为信心富足、生命尊荣的人。愿你也借着奉献训练我们，成为忠心的管家，预备将来复活时与基督一同治理全地。May more people, through giving, be set free from fear, poverty, and curse, and become people of faith, abundance, and honour. And through giving, may You also train us to be faithful stewards, preparing us to reign with Christ over all the earth in the resurrection to come.（陈弟兄 Raymond Chan）
