What the Widow’s Mite Teaches About True Generosity

What does true generosity look like? Is it measured by the size of the gift, or is it something deeper? In Luke 21:1–4, Jesus praises a widow who gave only two small coins. At first glance, her offering seems insignificant compared to the wealthy donors around her. Yet, in Jesus’ eyes, her gift was greater than them all. Why? Because God doesn’t measure generosity by the amount—it’s the heart behind it that matters.
