Reflection on the WORD
“Widow’s Mite”: When we love and serve the needs of others, especially the poor and the marginalised of our society, we are to do so with sincerity and selfless-generosity. The deeper our gratitude to God for the blessings we received from Him, the more we are willing to share with those in need.
Luke 21:1-4
As Jesus looked up, he saw rich people putting their offerings into the treasury; and he noticed a poverty-stricken widow putting in two small coins, and he said, ‘I tell you truly, this poor widow has put in more than any of them; for these have all put in money they could spare, but she in her poverty has put in all she had to live on.’
Today's Pointers on God's Word
As you read the passage what words, phases or meanings caught your attention?
- God sees and accepts us differently from others. He does not measure us by materialistic and secular standards. God’s one main interest is our love for Him and for our neighbours.
- Have you been selfless in your service and generous in your sharing of your possessions? These are signs of living the Gospel values of Christ.
- Ask the Lord to teach you today how to love Him more wholeheartedly in your daily living.
