“Days before He gave His life for us, Jesus Christ was at
the temple, watching people make donations to the temple treasury. Along came a
poor widow, and she threw in two mites. This seemingly inconsequential donation
caught the Savior’s attention. It impressed Him so deeply he called his
disciples, and said to them, ‘This poor widow hath cast more in, than all they
which have cast into the treasury: for all they did cast in of their abundance;
but she of her want did cast in all that she had.’ What does this mean for us
as disciples of Christ? It means if we want to find balance in life, and if we
want the Savior to lift us heavenward, then our commitment to Him and His
gospel can’t be casual or occasional. Like the widow at Jerusalem, we must
offer Him our whole souls. Our offering may be small, but it must come from our
heart and soul.” – Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf
