Many people give to church as a last resort, having paid off all their other bills and commitments. God is asking us to give first and to give faithfully – or, full of faith. The widow models this by giving out of her poverty, not her wealth. Jesus doesn’t commend her for giving large sums, but instead for the trust in her heart as she looks to God to provide.

However much we can afford, Jesus sees what we give and He calls us to all get involved giving.
