Thoughts on the Widow's Two Mites by Mikayla

And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. So He said, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all;  for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had."--Luke 21:1-4
  
Thoughts on the Widow's Two Mites 
by Mikayla



God is telling us to not hold things back.  Give it all.  God tells us to hold on light to the things of this earth, because soon we will be raptured.  Be prepared to let go.

God tells us that we should give our whole heart to Him not just some.  God tells us to put everything into things except sin.  God wants us to keep away from sin.

God says in Matthew that we should not seek reward from men but from God.

God says it doesn't matter how much you put in...what matters is the heart behind it.  When you give to God do not give Him empty gifts.
