I got an amazing glimpse of a biblical truth firsthand today. You know the story of the widow giving her two copper coins in Mark 12? I was preaching today at Heartland Church in Blue Springs, and after one of the services I was talking with a lovely couple who handed me a check as a gift. They were well dressed and very pleasant, and the gift was awesome so I was grateful. I also spoke with another gentleman after one of the services; he was slightly disheveled with dingy clothes that didn’t fit him well. He told me how much he got out of the message, and he reached into his pockets and pulled out all of the money he had…$4. He handed it to me and asked me to please use it to help people that needed Jesus. I took the money, I could barely see through my tears, and promised that I would. I don’t know how $4 can be a greater blessing than a large check, but it was. Thank God, that I got to see and experience how the Kingdom works.
