An honest small gift

Personal prayer cycle · Day 13 of 31 · Mark 12:41–44

Read Mark 12:41–44 in your Bible, then take a moment to reflect.

Jesus notices a widow whom the crowd could easily overlook. Her gift cannot be understood by its size alone. God sees a person’s circumstances and heart. This passage invites us to value hidden generosity and to avoid judging the worth of people by what they can afford.

Bring it to prayer

Whose quiet generosity have I taken for granted?

One act of faith

Thank someone for a contribution that usually goes unnoticed.
