Read 2 Timothy 1-4
2 Timothy 2:6 says, "The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits." Whenever I make my Christmas cookies to send to my family, I always make sure to have enough so I can sample them before anyone else. That way, if I’ve made a terrible mistake and they’re awful, I can make more, this time the right way. Perhaps fruit wouldn’t fall into the same category—it’s unlikely that something would go wrong with the whole harvest of them, as long as they’re ripe.
But any time we do something we are planning on sending out, we want to make sure it’s as good as we can make it. Whether it’s a gift or a product, our reputations are on the line.
We want to offer God our best efforts. Even if He knows our weaknesses, our failings, and our worst, we want to be able to give Him the gift of doing what we know will please Him.
