Forget about giving … first be reconciled

Morning: Psalm 80; 2 Kings 5:1-19; I Corinthians 4:8-21

Evening: Psalm 77: Matthew 5:21-26

What is life’s first priority?  Is it generosity?  … or helping prople in need?  Jesus is clear … If you have a gift to offer, even a gift to God, but you are angry with any ‘brother’ or ‘sister’, your first priority is to be reconciled with them.  Astonishingly, even if they are the ones who have something against you, it is still your first priority to seek reconciliation with them.  Why?  Perhaps bitterness with anyone so damages our spirits that we will have nothing to give to others until we are at peace with all?  First be reconciled.
