“It’s not how much we give, but how much we put into giving,” I am reading on the sign standing on the footpath.

Thinking about it, reminds me of a portion of the Bible

There are two parts, namely “It’s not how much we give,” and “but how much we put into giving.”

“It’s not how much we give, but how much we put into giving.”

“IT’S NOT HOW MUCH WE GIVE.”

There are the rich people. They are giving big sums of money. The Lord Jesus Christ watched them doing it one day.

BUT HOW MUCH WE PUT INTO GIVING.”

But there are also the poor people.

On the same day when the Lord Jesus Christ watched the rich people offering lots of money, the Lord Jesus watched also a poor widow putting two lepta (two very small copper coins) into the temple treasury.

And what does the Lord Jesus Christ say? He said that the rich people are giving because they are so rich, but the poor widow “‘put in all she had to live on.'”

He said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.”
