Gospel Reading For The Healing Message: Mark 12:41-44
He sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents. Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, “Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.”

The Healing Message:
7 Reasons Why The Widow Gave All That She Had To Live On
1) She wanted to please God.
--God's primary purpose in creating man is to give him pleasure. Every child that is born into this world gives great pleasure to God.
--To please God, we must obey God.
--When you give to God, there must be reverence, respect, love and humility. This is the right kind of attitude in offering and it pleases the Lord.
Tell the Israelites to take up a collection for me. From every man you shall accept the contribution that his heart prompts him to give me.-Exodus 25:2
2) She does not want God to see her coming to worship him empty-handed or without an offering knowing that God is watching.
3) She wanted her accounts in heaven updated.
It is not that I am eager for the gift; rather, I am eager for the profit that accrues to your account. I have received full payment and I abound. I am very well supplied because of what I received from you through Epaphroditus, “a fragrant aroma,” an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.-Philippians 4:17-18
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.-Matthew 6:19-21
--Let your money work for the glory of God.
4) Giving an offering to God reminds her that it is God who gives the ability to produce wealth.
Remember then, it is the Lord, your God, who gives you the power to acquire wealth, by fulfilling, as he has now done, the covenant which he swore to your fathers. But if you forget the Lord, your God, and follow other gods, serving and worshiping them, I forewarn you this day that you will perish utterly.-Deuteronomy 8:18-19
5) She knew that her giving is an act of sacrifice pleasing to God that will lead to the opening of God's storehouse of blessings.
I have received full payment and I abound. I am very well supplied because of what I received from you through Epaphroditus, “a fragrant aroma,” an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. My God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.-Philippians 4:18-19
6) She knew that with God the amount does not matter but her willingness to obey and to offer.
If you are willing, and obey, you shall eat the good things of the land.-Isaiah 1:19
--No matter how small your offering is, if it comes from the heart, God is pleased with that.
7) The widow knew that God loves a willing and cheerful giver and through her giving she knew the God is able to give all this amount back to her in abundance so that at all times in all things she will have more than enough for her to be able to do all kinds of good work.
Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work.-2 Corinthians 9:7-8
May you have a happy and prosperous life!
