Faith of Abel

It makes me wonder why the offering of Abel was accepted but the offering of Cain was rejected. And as i read on, i realised that Abel gave in faith. In sowing, it must always be done in faith. Faith empowers us to give our best to God with a heart of expectancy of reaping. we must understand the law of sowing and reaping that God has created. Moreover, we must trust the character of God that He is a giver and not a taker. He will surely out give us, and will multiply the seed that is sown. The bible says that Abel's offering was a more excellent sacrifice. Hence, it must have cost Abel something if not the bible will not say its a sacrifice. But being more excellent, i guess it speaks of quality more than quantity. The bible say that Abel gave the first born, that is the best to the Lord. From this, we can learn to sow wif the faith that abel had whenever the opportunity arises for us to give.
