Mark 12:41-44
41 Jesus went over to the collection box in the Temple and sat and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich people put in large amounts. 42 Then a poor widow came and dropped in two pennies.   43 He called his disciples to him and said, "I assure you, this poor widow has given more than all the others have given.  44 For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has."  (NLT)
Giving has always been a matter of the heart. Where is your heart? Is it for the Lord Jesus Christ or is it on something else? You must realize that with God there is no middle ground, you cannot be for the Lord and for something else at the same time. You cannot be on both sides of the fence at the same time, you either are for Him or you’re not. You either give from your surplus or you give Him your all. You either give from your heart or you don’t. You cannot have both. It is important for us as Christ followers to examine ourselves and to see where our heart is at as we walk with Christ. Is it for Him or for you? We can learn from the widow that her heart was for God and she gave out of her love for Him.
