MORE: The more you give, the more God gives back to you - Mark 12:43

Jesus sat down near the collection box in the Temple and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich people put in large amounts. Then a poor widow came and dropped in two small coins. Jesus called his disciples to Him and said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has given more than all the others who are making contributions. For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she had to live on.” Mark 12:41-44

Living Truth

• "Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.; Instead, store up riches for yourselves in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and robbers cannot break in and steal. For your heart will always be where your riches are." Matthew 6:1,20-21
• "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment." 1 Timothy 6:17

Quote: "Remember this truth, you will NEVER see a dead person pulling a U-Haul truck behind the hearse with their money or material belongings. Give everything you got." Denzel Washington

Praise & Prayer
Lord Jesus, You are my true wealth, the One who enriches my life and makes it complete. Thank You for giving everything to save all who believe in You from eternal condemnation. I want to follow the example of this poor widow by giving You my shattered dreams, my worries, my wounded heart, my treasures, my talents, my time, and everything else I have. Teach me, Holy Spirit, to give without seeking praise or recognition from others, but by being a joyful giver who gives to store up treasures in heaven by helping the poor, serving people in need, and sharing the good news of the kingdom with lost souls who are hungry for a new and rich life through faith in Christ. I pray in Jesus' mighty name.
