A Widow's Gift

We Worship God
A Guide for Worship Leaders

Mark 12:41-44 (The Message)
 ^41-44Sitting across from the offering box, he was observing how the crowd tossed money in for the collection. Many of the rich were making large contributions. One poor widow came up and put in two small coins—a measly two cents. Jesus called his disciples over and said, "The truth is that this poor widow gave more to the collection than all the others put together. All the others gave what they'll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn't afford—she gave her all."

For Reflection
What is your two cents worth?  Have you given extravagantly to the mission of the Lord?  Have you sacrificed your self completely?

Pray
that you rise above your old self and embrace the new you.  Pray to explore the extreme regions of the new you.  Pray that you will recognize the Christ in you and listen to His gentle encouragement.
