Luke 21:1-4
We will be reading from Luke for a few days. These are passages that Luke puts in the week leading to the resurrection that Matthew does not.
The point of Jesus drawing attention to the widow's gift is not the size of the gift, but the size of her heart in giving. The actual amount of her gift is tiny. What it represents to her life is huge. I believe that is the issue for us. How do our gifts represent our hearts?
The church's response to helping the poor for lent has been so exciting. Hundreds of people are giving of their lives in service to others. So many are responding out of the call to their hearts to serve others in the name of Jesus.

I'm so glad the way this scripture reminds us that it is not the size of our gifts that matters but rather what is in our hearts. When we see so many needs, we want to do something about all of them but that's impossible. These words of Jesus let us know that our little bit really does matter to Him!
