Luke 21:1-4 “And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.”
In what sense did the widow “cast in more than they all?” Answer: She had little but gave all. The rich men had all but gave little. And we should note that God takes account of how we give to His work, whether cheerfully or grudgingly, whether generously or stingily. He takes note of it, not because He needs our contribution, for He could make all people rich if that was His will. He takes note of it because it is an indication of our own spiritual maturity.
