Ephesians 1.18
Lessons from Scripture (The Widow`s offering)
1) she has a daring heart. She`s not afraid
We should not doubt ourselves and look down on ourselves thinking it`s not enough.
We should venture out to get the very best.
The widow gave two small coins but it`s everything that she has.
Sometimes wealthy people give a portion but I`m worried about not having enough money.
She shows the courage to do something.
If we do something and it doesn`t work, at least we have done it. We tried.
2) Her heart has faith.
She has only two coins and gives all to God, because it has best value when she gives to god.
And she will be able to find even more money.
New things will come when we give away the old
When the heart is full, no new things can come in.
We know that we have a mighty God that is with us all the time
