TITLE: The Widow and Her Donation

Once upon a time a poor widow lived in Arabia. She had a daughter and a son .She had to maintain her family with great hardship. She was a faithful Christian. She had only one coin in her possession but she gave it away as a tithe for the church. There was a rich man also to donate money to the church. He donated half of his belonging to church, that was a lot and people looked up to him and respected him.

On one laid eyes on this poor widow.

Jesus Christ was sitting nearby. Then Jesus asked his disciples, ‘Who is more faithful to almighty God?’ Everyone answered – the rich man. But Jesus said, ‘no, it’s the poor widow, she gave more than she could survive. She had faith that God will provide her, so she put the hope and trust in him.

But the rich man only gave a half. She was still worried. How much you donate is not important. The important thing is how much have donate proportionately. Please give it from the hearts, not by pressure, not for showing others how generous you are helping, not doing a show, just do it heartily, God will appreciate it.’ People then became astonished and could understand their faulty way of thinking. He also told them that the rich people gave money they did not need, but the poor widow gave all that she had to live on. ‘It is the intention which is above everything ‘Jesus added.
