#soap # Luke 21 ## Title: It’s the Heart, Not the Amount ## Scripture: (Luke 21:3-4) He said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all offered their gifts out of their wealth. But she, out of her poverty, put in everything she had to live on.” (NET) ## Observation: The Lord takes a moment to watch people giving into the Temple treasury. I love that the Lord has said it wasn’t the amount that mattered to Him. It was the heart behind it. This is important because many feel they do not have the same skills, opportunities, or finances as others do. The Lord is making it clear. That does not matter to Him. What matters is what you do with what you have been given. So, stop comparing yourself to others. Compare yourself to who you would be without Jesus. ## Application: Do the best you can with what you have and leave the results to Jesus in the light of eternity. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for giving us all the opportunity to make a difference at a level we can handle.
