The Widow’s Offering

God is good. He knows every hair on our heads…

Luke 21:1-4
The Widow’s Offering

1 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”

To give from the heart. To give when there is not much to give. To give, even when the world tells you not to. To love, even when hatred stares you in the face. This is the blessing from God.

Jesus gave us His life as a gift. From nothing, He gave everything. From baby born in a barn, to King of salvation. Jesus gave all. When we think there is nothing to give, Jesus has shown us there is more. The blessings and gifts that He has given us to share are numerous. They are meant to be given as blessings. The longer we hold on to them, the less they can do.

Let us be like the widow, and give from all that we have been given. God will know. He knows everything about you. Now go be His messenger of love. Even when the world tells you to hate.

Amen.
