Mark 12:44
Of course, Jesus knew everything there was to know about this woman. However, anyone could see very easily that her gift was given at great cost to her. Before Jesus pointed her out, surely no one even noticed her. Imagine if you will the great honor that the Lord of Heaven and Earth stopped to recognize her humble gift.
We think of cost in terms of overall amount. But God looks at the actual cost to us in terms of our overall net worth. This woman made a great sacrifice to give her gift.
Heavenly Father, will we ever know just how much you have given to us? Will we ever understand the great cost of our salvation? So often we do not even remember to thank you for it. May we praise you for it every single day! You are worthy of our everlasting gratefulness. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
