Give until it hurt

Give until it hurt

By REV. FR. SAMUEL FREDERICK

Rev. 14:1-5, Lk. 21:1-4. Jesus is never impressed by how much we give but how we give. We can give a little from our abundance or give everything we have. However little that may be, a giving is never complete until it costs the giver something. The poor widow in today's Gospel gives from her poverty all that she had and it surely pinched her. She knew so well that she had to start all over again to regain something for herself. Her action loudly proclaims that she was never poor when it comes to giving God. It is this giving in love that touched Jesus.

Jesus, also had given us everything that He had in order to save us and He wants us to pray for that grace which enables us to cheerfully give all that we have from our heart. We are challenged today, to give all that we have and are to God from the generosity of our heart. There is an old saying that 'God is won over by the last coin'. Then, we can ask ourselves, is there anything in our heart that does not belong to God?

May the Lord help us by His grace to be generous like the poor widow and may our service to God be pleasing in His sight! Amen!! Good morning, have a productive week!!!
