Mar 12:44 | MHM | STEP | v. 44 : Jesus explained that the widow’s gift was greater because she gave all she had, while the rich only gave what they could easily spare (Mark 12:44 ). Some people might criticize her for giving when she had so little, but Jesus praised her. This teaches us that giving, even a small amount, is valuable to God if it is given with love and faith. We should be willing to give, even if it means denying ourselves some comforts, to help others. God accepts our gifts when we give according to what we have, not what we do not have (2 Corinthians 8:2-3 ). True generosity is giving from the heart, sometimes even beyond what seems possible, trusting God to provide for us.

‏ Mark 12:44

v. 44: Jesus explained that the widow’s gift was greater because she gave all she had, while the rich only gave what they could easily spare (Mark 12:44 ^a). Some people might criticize her for giving when she had so little, but Jesus praised her. This teaches us that giving, even a small amount, is valuable to God if it is given with love and faith. We should be willing to give, even if it means denying ourselves some comforts, to help others. God accepts our gifts when we give according to what we have, not what we do not have (2 Corinthians 8:2-3 ^b). True generosity is giving from the heart, sometimes even beyond what seems possible, trusting God to provide for us.
