I love the simplicity of the teachings of Jesus. In my studies I've started reading through the Old Testament and I have never felt closer to my Saviour. He was the ultimate teacher, he saw the small things happening around him and used them as parables. I love the message of this video.
I have been thinking about about my life and about the sacrifices I am willing to make for the Lord. I have gained a testimony of paying my tithing and giving the Lord 10 percent of my income. I have seen that act of faith bless me many times. Right now I am on a mission serving for 18 months in Tennessee and I am giving of my personal time in order to help others come unto Christ. There's this song called "Bless My Son" on a CD called "The Work" by The Nashville Tribute Band that has a line in it that talks about how a mission adds up to 10 percent of our lives. I love that line and when times get hard I remember that even though people aren't home when they say they will be and people don't listen when I answer their questions I can know that I am in the service of the Lord. As I watched this video I thought about how I'm serving the Lord. Am I serving the Lord like this sweet widow tossing in ALL I can to the Lord? Everything we have is from the Lord and all he asks us in return is to follow his commandments and to serve him. The scriptures tell us that when we are in the service of our fellow beings we are in the service of our God. And I love being in the service of my God!!
