Pursue Peace

Many will come to lay their gifts at My altar, yet do so while holding grudges and offenses. This is not pleasing to Me, nor is a gift I will accept.

If you want your gift to be acceptable to Me, consider with whom in the family of God

you have a grievance, then go and pursue peace with them. Aim for reconciliation. Seek My way of doing things, and ask Me how I would like you to approach this. 

Start by reconciling your heart and thoughts to be in harmony with My own regarding the situation, and pursue reconciliation from that place. Move with My heart and the language that flows from My Spirit. Do not enter that moment with accusations or words born out of anger, bitterness, or hurt. Do not approach the reconciliation table expecting the worst. Place your expectation in Me alone, trusting that I will be the One to bring about reconciliation in the way I desire.

Once you have done what I require regarding reconciliation, then return to My altar with your gift.

Matthew 5:23-24 (TPT)

So then, if you are presenting a gift before the altar and suddenly you remember a quarrel you have with a fellow believer, leave your gift there in front of the altar and go at once to apologize to the one who is offended. Then, after you have reconciled, come to the altar and present your gift.
