HE VALUES YOU
Jesus sat down opposite the
place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money
into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor
widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
Calling his disciples to him,
Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury
than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her
poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”
Mark 12:41-44 NIV
I remember I wrote about this
passage of Scriptures few years ago. Today when I was doing some Bible studies
I came across with this passage of widow's offering; and I felt the Lord is
directing me to write something about it.
Jesus saw many rich men
putting in large amounts into the temple treasury; later poor widow came and
put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Jesus called His
disciples and said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the
treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out
of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”
Although this poor widow put
a small amount of money; but she gave more than all those rich people. “They
have plenty, and they gave only what they did not need. This woman is very
poor, but she gave all she had. It was money she needed to live on.” This
teaches us that God respect whatever small things we give or contribute for His
kingdom; if is all what we have.
This morning, I want you to
know that God values your contribution for His kingdom. Maybe you are not that
gifted like so and so in the Church. Maybe no one knows you, and sometimes you
feel like God doesn't see what you do behind the scene for His kingdom. I'm
here to encourage you to continue doing what you are doing because your Father
who sees things that are done even in the secret will reward you.
Some Christians have been
given the gift of praying for others. These precious saints pray and fast for
the Church and ministers of the Church. They pray for the people problems
without being asked by anyone. These people sometimes may be considered as
useless; but in the reality are mostly needed. I don't know what you had been
doing in your Church; but I want to encourage you to continue doing it knowing
that you are extending the kingdom of God on this earth.
****Morning Prayer****
Pray this prayer with me by
faith and God is going to answer your prayer....

to continue serving You with a clean heart. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
