Mark 12:43
“Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, ‘Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.'”
She slipped in quietly. No announcement. No applause. Just two small coins dropped into the temple treasury. As the coins hit the bottom of the giving cup, it made a very small sound. The wealthy gave loudly that day. But Jesus was watching someone else.
That is the first comfort of this story. Jesus noticed what others ignored. The widow drew no attention. Her clothing likely told her story before she spoke a word. Yet while the crowd’s eyes followed the large gifts of important men, the eyes of heaven were fixed on her. That should settle something in every unnoticed soul. You are never invisible to God.
Give freely of your time and your treasure. Heaven is watching.
