A friend of mine passed away yesterday, after years of a wasting illness. The last few months, I watched a group of singers come to his house and sing him songs of praise and worship. He really enjoyed that, as he had been a talented musician himself.
This group will never be famous, will never appear on the cover of a music magazine - they're all ordinary people who took on a great responsibility. In God's eyes, what they gave was as great an offering as the greatest, grandest thing by the biggest rock stars. They strengthened a good man for his longest journey; if you think about it, what greater thing has ever been done in this world?
Don't hold yourself back from anything; even if you think it will not help you make your mark in the world, rest assured it will. All good things that there have ever been are made of little kindnesses - and God saw them, and it was good.
He looked up and saw rich people putting their gifts into the treasury; he also saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins.
He said, ‘Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them; for all of them have contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on.’ (Luke 21:1-4)
