A Worthy Offering

Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast (Gen 4:2b-5).

The difference is Cain knowing he has enough before he comes to God with his offering and Abel coming to God with his offering knowing he will have enough.
