What are you living for?
Mark 12:41-44 offers a profound insight into the nature of giving. While wealthy donors made substantial contributions to the temple treasury, Jesus drew attention to a poor widow who gave only two small coins. He commended her for giving “all she had to live on,” contrasting her sacrificial giving with the more affluent donors who gave from their abundance. This passage challenges the common perception that wealth equates to generosity, emphasizing instead the significance of giving wholeheartedly, regardless of one’s financial status. It serves as a reminder that true generosity is measured not by the amount given, but by the spirit in which it is given.
