Week 13 - The Journey Day 1
"Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, "Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood."" Mark 12:43-44
The Journey into the heart of God happens a little each day when we sit at His feet. In reading His word and contemplate what He speaks, Jesus teaches what the Church teaches. The widow woman gave all, her faith wasn't on her abilities, her talent, her possessions, her little, it was on God. "Jesus replied, "The first is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'" Mark 12:29-30

Without total confidence in God, the widow woman could not give all, this doesn't happen overnight. Her poverty was from the worlds viewpoint, her wealth is God so her knowledge is her needs will be met. In our own lives, this is God's message, not to give from our access but to give from our all out of love and trust that God has it all under control. Trust in God, love Him with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind. You will not get to Heaven with half hearted effort nor a lack of knowledge of who God is - in your life.
What is God saying to me? Keep on, the canvas is being painted. The blessings of this day will shine true.
Dear Father, I am blessed beyond measure to sit at Your feet. Your Word feeds my spirit, it is louder than all the distractions of this world. Father, I see You at work, I see things coming together, I see a harvest coming. Give us the wisdom of the widow woman, total confidence in You. Your Saints have total confidence, and so shall we. Prayers for a family experiencing loss, thank You for walking with them on the Villa DeLaRosa. Prayers for a family being asked to trust in You with the little they have. I ask this in Jesus name. amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Terror of Demons, Pray for us.
