Mark 12:44
They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on."
Lloyd S.
Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
This poor widow gave of the love of her heart, not from her wealth as the others had, which left her with nothing to live on herself. She gave because of her love for the Lord, and the Lord saw her love and proclaimed that she had given mor than any of the others. Lord, help me to always give from my love for You, and not from my abundance so that I may receive Your blessings in eternity. Amen
Peter B.
Peter B. from Buchanan, MI said:
Amen Lloyd, very well expressed, God Blesses us( with employment, health good or bad and of course the poor widow was most definitely Blest) so we can use our blessings as a means for us to Bless Him. Be Blest in His Love brother Be Blest in His Love.

This verse means that our life should be 100 percent for Jesus. For me like the widow is not only a matter of money but that our time is to mske God our first priority. Meaning that we do what Jesus did and taught us to do. We don't live for ourselves but bear other people's needs too. The widow gave all she had. It was all her living. Living in this world we need money for our basics. But we need to also sacrifice by lessening our needs in order to help those in need. Amen

Some give to make a show, others give out of feelings of obligation and then others give out of obedience. We are not to do things as a show but as obedience to God.

I think it is great that today we can give over the internet and no one knows who is and who isn't giving.

Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
So true, Patty and Nancy. Even when I give in our church offering, I always try to turn the face of the envelope down down so no one but those who count it see what I gave and I have never felt it a burden to give. It is up to the church or other ministry to use it effectively. I give to the Lord's work, whether the church or some other organization doing the work of the Lord. God bless

I am thankful for this example. It helps me to remember that I never have an excuse not to give. It's not about what or how much I have to give but rather a desire to give what I have.

Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
Oh so true, Valerie. A whole bunch of little bits can add up to a big bunch and God sees the heart with which we give. God bless

This verse is so powerful to me...While there are many who have the wealth to give to those in need and to pay yout tithes without worry there are many others, like myself, when giving just a few dollars is hard because it is all we may have, but it is then that we should trust in the Lord even more because he is the provider of all things, even our finances. That is the ultimate test in faith, will you give all you have and trust that the Lord that he will give you all you need?

Veronica M. from P C Beach, FL said:
Praise God for His promise of giving back to us by measure and not amount.
Lloyd S.
Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
Amen, Brandy and Veronica. God sees the heart with which we give to His work, not the amount. God bless.

Gi ing God all you have, your trust, faith and belief is what is truly expected of us. This passage does not refer to wealth only, but to our hearts. The more we give, to Him and to those that need, the greater our treasure in Heaven.

Do I give God the changes, the extras or like the widow, her all--all she had to live on? May I remember the example of this widow and how the Lord commended her.

You have chosen the same verse as I multiple times. This will be the third time in the book of Mark. Unusual given the number of people that participate in this.
