The Lord knows what you do with your money. Just as He was watching one day in the temple, He watches today. He knows those who use their money for Him out of pride or a haughty spirit or those who give in a humble way out of their love for Him. He was watching the treasury one day in the temple and after many had given out of so much that they had, He saw a husbandless woman give all that she had. It was only two mites so why would that excite Him? Because of her heart. She had a love that none of the others had for Him. She gave it all. She bowed in surrender of a great Love given to her.
"So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury, for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.'"
It is hard for a rich man to get to Heaven. Or haven't you heard? So how rich are you? The important thing to Jesus is not the amount of the money you give but the commitment and sacrifice it represents in your life for Him.
Mark 12:41-44
