Then a poor widow came by and dropped in two small copper coins. . . .(Jesus) remarked, "poor widow has given more than all. . . (the rich) combined. For they have given a little of what they didn't need, but she . . . has given everything she has."
Luke 21: 2-4 TLB
You are called to be intentional about your faith. You must be determined to experience the fullness of God in every area of as a believers and never to settle for a shallow, lackadaisical relationship with Almighty God. God will bless you according to how you responded to his invitation. If He finds in you a generous heart that willingly and freely gives what it has to others, then God responds toward you in like manner.
Rich people who try My approval by throwing money at Me don't impress Me one bit. If a millionaire only gives Me a hundred dollars, it doesn't excite Me much. That's like pocket change to the rich. But if a really poor person gives Me. Ten bucks. I love their gift, because I know how much they sanctified too give.
Let Me share a secret with you. If you want to know what"s really important to most people, take a look at how they spend their time and money. The most important thing to Me is not the amount of gift, but the generous spirit behind the gift and the wholeheartedly cheerful way it's given. I want your whole heart.
