S :

Mark 12:43-44 NASB

Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; 
for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on."

O :

These verse tells me that the poor widow give everything  she have even she have nothing leftover while the others give their extras. Act of giving.  Worshiping God in giving

A :
Giving is not just than giving money.
There are Giving of love.
Giving of encouragement.

What does it mean to give?
Am I willing to give everything to God?
Surrender everything to Him ?
For the poor widow she offered herself to God, have I offered myself to God?

I cared too much of the world.
I cared too much of what the world would think of me.
Fame, money, career etc are the world.
Am I willing to give up all these and give everything I have to Him?

The true value of offering Is not measured by how much we give, but by how much we keep for ourselves.
God sees the heart of giving.

I have to examine my own pattern of giving.
What are things that I need to change?

Always put God first and everything will fall in place.
Spend my time with God
---> praying, reading,  worshiping etc
Humble myself, never become a show for others to see. Giving will always be an act of pure worship and gratitude to the One who gave his all for me.
Give my talent to God. Using our talent to honour God.
As long as I have breathe, I have something to give.

P :

Dear heavenly Father,
I offer You with the most precious gifts You have given me: my youth, my energy, my time, my talent. More than just coins and currency,  I offer my life to You. I empty myself down to the last drop, just as you've done for me.
Thank You Lord,
In the name of Jesus,
AMEN!
