Mark 12:44 “For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.”
This passage is the last verse in the story of the widow's mite. Jesus was observing the folks as they came into the temple and dropped their offering money into the treasury box. He saw the rich toss in a lot of cash, and then the widow just a tiny bit.
He spoke of the difference between the two, how even though the widow had given so little, her offering was so much more than that of the others, because hers was everything she had!
What a great lesson. How many blessings do we miss out on because we do not give everything? God does not need our money, but our commitment. That is the meaning of this story.
