And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amounts to a cent. And calling His disciples to Him, He said, "Truly I say to you this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on." Matthew 12:42-44
Are there any among us that have nothing to give? Of all the time, talents, and resources that God has blessed us with, can we honestly tell God we have nothing to give. It may be true that we have nothing left to give, because our appetites get first place. It may be true that we don't want to give because we think we need it all. It is not true that we will receive a blessing by living a lie. When we claim we have nothing to give, we are only hurting ourselves. God has promised a generous blessing when we are generous, yet we sit there holding onto our last penny. Trust in the Lord. That's the source of blessings.
