This is the law of the communion sacrifice that one may present to Jehovah.—Lev. 7:11.

 

This was a voluntary offering that the individual made because he loved his God, Jehovah. The person making the offering, his family, and the priests would eat the meat of the sacrificed animal. But certain parts of the animal sacrifice were offered up exclusively to Jehovah. Which parts? Jehovah viewed the fat as the best part of an animal. He also specified that vital organs, including the kidneys, were of special value. (Lev. 3:6, 12, 14-16) So Jehovah was especially pleased when an Israelite voluntarily offered vital organs and the fat to him. The Israelite who made such an offering demonstrated his deep desire to offer the very best to God. In a similar way, Jesus willingly offered up to Jehovah his very best by serving Him whole-souled out of love for Him. (John 14:31) For Jesus, doing God’s will was a delight. (Ps. 40:8) How pleasing it must have been for Jehovah to see Jesus serve him so willingly! w19.11 22-23 ¶9-10

Communion sacrifices indicated a peaceful relationship with Jehovah. For us to enjoy a peaceful relationship with Jehovah & to gain His approval, we willingly give Him our very best. In all aspects of our service to Jehovah, we don’t cut corners. Be it letter writing/telephone witnessing we prayerfully do thorough & proper research, so that what we disseminate reach the hearts of those listening to us & to fully accomplish our ministry.

 The communion sacrifice was an expression of a willing heart. To give of oneself just because of the good condition of the heart is pleasing to Jehovah. It showed that a person was not stingy or selfish nor had alterior motives because he wasn't looking for anything in return.  To care for others and make others happy is a reward in itself. Jehovah set the example in sending his son for us  Jesus set the example for us when he said to the leper, "I want to".

I would happily give the fatty part to the Almighty. It’s nothing. 
Would even do what Abraham did if He asked me to. 
Its all His anyway. ❤️🙏
