At the car show last weekend, a gentleman stopped by our booth to look at the car and some printed material we had on our table. I notice he reached into his pocket and put 3 coins in our donation box. I jumped up and grabbed a devotional and caught up with him, gave him the devotional, and thanked him for his donation. I discovered later that it was 3 pennies. We will never know if that was a sacrificial gift from him or not. Referring to the woman who gave all she had, Jesus said in Luke 21:4, "All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” Meaning, it is not the size of the gift, but the condition of our heart. How is your heart towards God today?
