No Big Deal?

 

Then a poor widow came and dropped in two small coins. 

Mark 12:42

 

I admit, when I was a child and heard the story of the "widow's mites" I wasn't impressed.  After all, she only put two tiny coins into the offering.  I remember thinking her offering was no big deal.  That is until I was put into a situation where I didn't have much to offer either, then I understood what a real offering she had made!

  

Have you ever thought or told Abba something along the lines of "I really don't have much of anything to offer"?  I have.  It was a lie from the pit and it stank!  The truth of the matter is that Abba gives us what He wants us to offer!  Think about that for a minute!

 

Remember how Jesus fed the 5000 people?  Remember the Disciples gathered 12 baskets full of left overs? All this from sardines and biscuits that Abba made sure the boy had for his lunch.  

 

Take a minute to think about what Abba has provided for you and gifted you with.  To us, it may not seem like anything that would make a difference, but when we turn it over to Abba...miracles happen right in front of us!
