How to Steal God’s Heart

“And he called his disciples to him and said to them, ‘Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on’” (Mark 12:43-44, ESV).

There is a lesson for us in this story about enrapturing God’s heart. This lesson goes beyond the immediately obvious financial implications that Jesus made here. The same thing He observed about the offering of the widow’s money… applies to the offering of our hearts in worship.
