Exodus 35:5 ‘Take up a collection for ADONAI from among yourselves – anyone whose heart makes him willing is to bring the offering for ADONAI: gold, silver and bronze … (CJB)
Adonai our God seeks the willing offerings of our hearts, not extracted or manipulated, fund-raised or coerced donations. We give to Him because He has given so much to us: Yeshua, His own Son who gave His life as a ransom for us. We give back to Him what He has already placed in our hands as our expression of love and gratitude.
