We are told to be followers of God, as dear children and I have noticed that children in their innocence often give freely expecting nothing in return showing a generosity of heart. This reminds me of the widow who gave her last two coins which was a real sacrifice for her unlike the rich who could afford to do so which in my view was not a sacrifice at all it was simply a token gesture. Notice also that unlike the sacrifices that the Jews normally made of dead animals, this was an offering of a living, loving beating heart. It was a living sacrifice, given with love and unlike the stink of a burnt offering, the widows offering had a beautiful aroma. She gave all she had and I cannot stop myself thinking of Jesus who gave his all as a living sacrifice and worldly goods aside for they fade away I am sure the Lord would find the sacrifice of our hearts as we offer ourselves to Him a sweet-smelling savour also.
