Mark 12: 41 (Passion Translation) Then He (Jesus) sat down near the offering box, watching all the people dropping in their coins.
Jesus noticed what others missed: ”She sacrificed out of her poverty and gave to God all that she had to live on, which was everything she had.” “Although in the Bible wealth is shown as an aspect of God’s blessing and approval, the New Testament brings the added emphasis of the possession and use of wealth or money in connection with heart attitude and internal motivation. A righteous heart does not serve money. Money must be handled carefully and used wisely lest desire for it seduce us from true devotion to God” (Hayford). Jesus notices your sacrifices. Your generosity shines brightly against the dark backdrop of need. He promises that He will provide for you (Phil. 4:19).
