Only What We Have

God requires of us only what we can afford...and that would be as valuable to Him as another person's gift, whether it be talent, time, money, property or energy, if it comes from the giver's heart.

Meditation:

Luke 21:1-4
"...'I tell you the truth...this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave the gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.'"

John 6:5-13
"...'Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?' He asked this only to test him... Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two fish, but how far will they go among so many?...Jesus then took the loaves and two fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish..."
