What did Jesus have to say about this infinitely small donation? He honored her giving from her poverty more than those who gave from their wealth. The next time you choose to hold back from giving because you don’t feel you have enough, think again. Give from your heart. Give from your lack. For it is this very giving the Lord God almighty honors.
Have you ever felt like you shouldn’t give because you don’t have enough? Remember the one Jesus honored. The widow with a couple of coins.
And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. 42And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny.f 43And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.” Mark 12:42-44 ESV

I do love the manner in which you have framed this specific matter plus it does present me personally some fodder for consideration. However, coming from everything that I have observed, I simply hope as other opinions pile on that individuals keep on point and don’t start on a soap box involving the news du jour. Anyway, thank you for this excellent point and though I do not necessarily agree with this in totality, I respect the viewpoint.
When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox now each time a comment is added I am four emails using the same comment. Perhaps there is any way you are able to eliminate me from that service? Thanks!
