Jesus asked his disciples to come to him. He said to them, ‘I tell you this: This poor woman has put a better gift into the box than all the other people have put in there. All those rich people have plenty of money. They only put a small part of that into the box. But this woman has almost nothing. She put in all the money that she had. That was all the money that she needed to live.’ Mark 12:43-44 Easy:

Jesus noticed a poor widow who gave two small coins. Others gave from their abundance, but she gave everything she had. God does not measure our gifts by their size. He looks at the love, faith, and sacrifice behind them. This has always been true on the average. The poor people support the work of God, while the wealthy give a few crumbs for the cause of Jesus Christ while off in search of some project to exalt their own name above Christ’s. Why don’t you call your pastor and ask what you can do to really make your means count.

Dear Lord Jesus, help me give with a willing and trusting heart. Teach me to offer You my time, love, talents, and resources, knowing You see every sacrifice. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Mighty Precious Name Lord Jesus Amen.
