Mark 12
v.41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts.
v.42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
v.43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.
v.44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything--all she had to live on.”

When God approaches you and whispers in your heart that He would like you to do something, what is your reaction?

Is your first response an unconditional, “Yes, Lord,” or do you ask for details, apply conditions, suggest someone else, argue for a different approach, try to buy time or put off answering, as so many in Scriptures have done? Perhaps even a flat “no” is the response God has received from you in the past.

Failure is not only an option, it is plan "A."

I don't mean a moral failure or an ethical failure or a legal failure where we fail in our Christian walk, our walk with God in His Spirit, but rather, I mean a personal failure.

Why do we do what we do? What is the goal or purpose that our actions try to achieve or fulfill? There are always short-term motivations: we eat because we are hungry; we sleep because we are tired. But if we continue eating after we are no longer hungry, what is the reason? If we continue to stay in bed after we wake up, what is the purpose?
