Gifts From the Heart

It is Valentine’s week. Tons of flowers will be bought, candy, jewelry, all in the name of love!

Luke 21 starts off with a story about a poor woman who gave 2 copper coins to the temple treasury. Jesus calls attention to her, pointing out that others gave out of their wealth but she gave all she had to live on. She wasn’t doing this to be seen and the amount wasn’t important. It was her love, sacrifice and trust in God that stood out.

When you think about heartfelt words that have been spoken in your life or thoughtful gifts, you can see why love is central to the message of God! Romans 8:31-39

Thought Question: What is one small thing that you can do this week to show someone how special they are to you this week?
