Quality over Quantity...
In Mark 12:41-44, Mark tells of when Jesus was observing how the people were putting money in the treasury. It says that many rich people were putting in large sums. Then the poor widow gives all that she has, although it's much less than what the others were giving. The point is she is the only one who made a sacrifice. What the rich people were giving was much more than what she was giving, yet she was giving all she could give. The rich people were not making a sacrifice. Like faith, what matters here is the quality of the gift, not the quantity. The widow put in all that she owned. I know that for me, personally, I need to give to Jesus sacrificially, not just what is convenient for me. Not just financially speaking, but everything...my talents He has given me, my time. To whom much is given, much is required. If the giving isn't sacrificial, it's worthless to Him.

When got to the part where you said it's quality and not quantity i knew where the post was going. Even though i knew you were about to say not just with your money but talents and abilities to it still hit me hard. It made me really question my motives and how i think about things, Great post Justin.
