In Luke 21, Jesus and His disciples are watching the tithe being collected. There are several rich men putting large amounts in the collection. But then, a poor widow comes and places just pennies in the offering basket.
In response to this, Jesus says in Luke 21 verses 3 and 4, "Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
Jesus is saying that the window contributed more because she had nothing. She was not comfortable with her current situation, but she still gave to the Lord as a gesture of faith.
The Lord recognizes gestures of faith to Him and I am so thankful for that! I continue to work on my trust in the Lord. I give everything to Him to show how much I love and trust Him!
