LUKE 21:3-4
3 And Jesus said: “Truly, I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them. 4 For all of them gave an offering from their abundance; but she, out of her poverty, gave all she had to live on.”
---- my own,
Rely on the providence of your heavenly Father; He will supply all your needs. When you give, let your giving be after the model of the widow who dropped two copper coins into the offering. View her gift with the mind of God. It was all she had to live on, while all the others made a great show of dropping their much larger offerings into the temple treasury. She gave without a thought about where her next meal would come from. Her faith in God was so great that she trusted Him to feed her just as He fed the sparrows in the air and clothed the lilies in the field.
Money is not the only thing that you are called to give, ---- mine, the greater gift is the gift of yourself, your time, your attention, your presence. Be attuned to the needs of others and permit the Holy Spirit to inspire and lead you in meeting the needs of those you encounter. Be receptive, be open, be aware, and soon you will become more sensitive to what I AM asking you to give. God loves a cheerful giver.
