If We Give Our All To Him, He Wastes Nothing

10th November 2024 ( Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time )

[ 1 Kings 17:10-16 , Hebrews 9:24-28 , Mark 12:38-44 ]

Jesus’ comment on the widow’s mite shows how divine logic overturns our human ways of thought. God looks at the heart. The others were content to give God some of their overflow, having provided sufficiently for themselves and impressing others along the way, not knowing that God isn’t impressed with self-praise. However, this woman gave to God all that she had, out of her whole livelihood and substance. Her reckless generosity parallels the self-emptying generosity of God. The widow’s mite in the Gospel shows us that, with God, nothing is wasted if we entrust everything to Him, knowing that He will provide, in His time, will, and providence, every apt good and blessing, both material and spiritual if only we entrust everything to Him in a spirit of detachment. May the example of the widow help us to realize that, if we give our all to Him, He wastes nothing that we give to Him.
