Fear often rules our hearts and so we become selfish and hoard what we can. ‘Drink and make merry for tomorrow we die’ we often chant. And die we will indeed since merrymaking is our goal. God is far from our minds in this endeavour.
But for those who choose the narrow path to be rightful children of our loving Father, God Almighty. He provides for and we shall never want. All wisdom, skills, knowledge and talents comes from Him. And when we give Him all that we are and all that we have, as dutiful servants do. His overflowing love and blessings falls upon us and we are content just to be in His presence.
Lord Jesus take away my sin that binds me to this world. Let me be free to love and serve my God in all things and in all

Luke 21:1–4
When Jesus looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins. He said, “I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.”
