When Christ said that she "has given everything she has," he was specifying more than a monetary sacrifice. He was drawing our attention to the woman's life sacrifice, her practices of living in complete surrender and loyal devotion to God. The story of the poor widow teaches more than just how to sacrifice through our money. Her sacrifical giving is a demonstration of a life fully offered into the loving care of the Master's hands.
Why is it so difficult for us to yield all that we have and are to God? Is there fear that we'll be left without? Think about that, what is holding you back from giving yourself fully to Him? It is only as we yield ourselves to him in complete faith and trust that we can experience true oneness with the Father, true freedome in Christ, and true, abundant, joy-filled living. Does that sound like something you want? Do you have that today in your life? If not consider letting go and let God take over. You will be surprised on how your life will change with a new pilot!
Lord, I fully yield myself to you - all that I have, all that I am, and all that I hope to be. I give you everything about me...my strengths as well as my weaknesses. They are yours to do with as you please. I submit my heart, mind, and will to you, Lord Jesus. You alone are Lord on my life. I am thankful that I can trust you with anything that involves me in any way, whether big or small. In Jesus' name. Amen
