Possessions have a way of possessing!

Possessions have a way of possessing!

It would seem that the more a person makes-

– the easier it would be to give.

But that is not the case!

Possessions have a way of possessing!

A wealthy person may give a larger dollar amount!

But a proportionately smaller amount than a poor person!!

God looks at the proportion, not the amount.

It is within the grasp of every person to please God with their giving because-

He weighs the gift not in dollars but in sacrifice.

Jesus saw among those bringing their gifts to the temple a widow.

Her offering was “two very small copper coins”, worth very little.

Yet she is the one He commended.

She did not give a pittance out of her excess!

But gave excess out of her pittance!!

Jesus is interested-

– in the heart that gives!

– not the hands that have!!

He did not commend the rich for the size of their gifts!

But the widow for the size of her heart!!

With prosperity comes a peril!

A person no longer has things, but things have a person.

Do a heart exam on yourself!

Is it a heart that Jesus would-

– commend?

– or condemn?
