Do you believe in the work of God. ?
In Mark 12 : 43 the widow believed in the work of God. The work of the temple was important to her and she wanted to support it. Doubtless, it was with pleasure that she dropped in her coins for she knew she was part of something bigger than herself.
People who made such contributions feel that they are part of something important something far bigger than they are. There is a certain dignity about being able to give to something you believe in. It says that we are not simply takers but we are givers.
There was a reason that the widow spent her last few coins on the work of God rather than on herself. Perhaps she had discovered that valuable secret of her need to give, and she found peace in her giving. I hope each one of us will also find that peace.
Mark 12 : 43
Then he called his disciples and said to them, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the treasury.
