“I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” Luke 21:3-5
Her ‘two cents worth’ was all she had… and Jesus used her as an example of trust.
“Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me… I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.” Mark 14:6-9
Her gift was called ‘wasteful’, but Jesus said her story would accompany the sharing of the gospel.
“I am the Lord’s servant. May it be to me as you have said.” Luke 1:38
Though her reputation would be at stake, her acceptance of God’s purpose enabled the greatest Gift of all time to enter the world.
I want to be like these three ladies…
