Father God, let this touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
I got this doll at the Good will thrift store. Tell you what happened. I saw this porcelain doll that was missing part of her foot. It was in Goodwill’s trash box they were throwing unsellable away and they couldn’t just give it to me. So I assumed it is alright. I don’t need it. The other lady came over and said. Well it has a broken foot. I said its alright. So she gave it to me for $5.00. First porcelain Doll I ever had. This was like 27 years ago. Now I have a collection of dolls. The mere fact I am telling you this. Is we can long for the good things in life. But they are all not what they are cracked up to be. They are just material things that can be destroyed. On the other hand all the gain that you get in life can be used, given away or used to create something that can help in time of need. Material things can help others who have nothing. Not sure what year it was. My grandchildren bought me a picture of a porcelain doll in a 16X20 frame. Well one of them dropped the picture off my wall one day and behind the picture of the porcelain doll was a picture of Jesus as adolescent. Wow! That spoke volumes to me. It is not material things that we should follow and cherish in this world. It is Jesus all and all. Beautiful things can be destroyed, but having Jesus in our life for eternity. This can never be taken from us.
Reminder of the widows offering.
It reads in Mark 12:41-44, ~ Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you; this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything, all she had to live on.”
But this widow actually gave her all; Jesus says so in verse 44:” She, out of her poverty, put in everything – all she had to live on.” As a Christian I need to recognize that, so far as possessions and money are concerned, all of it belongs to the Lord. My house, my children, my money, my car these are not mine, but His.
People think they can’t go to church cause they have to tithe. What is tithing it is financially building the church home we all live in, worship in and give to the poor and powerless. Have you gone by church’s that people built but there was nobody that wanted to keep giving to that church so it just stayed empty. Someone had a God vision of building a place where people could come, learn, give and love the way Jesus loves. So many people I have seen hurting and the church family of volunteers gave to them and they became apart of the church family and now volunteer to help others just the way they was helped. It takes a Jesus heart to love and heal others to have a heart of Jesus. This is why church’s grow.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, Just as breaking that picture, but finding you as a adolescent growing in goodness and perfect showing that You was growing with humanity. I thank You that You have opened my eyes and mind to the truth of Who Jesus is through You was born as Your perfect Son of Man to bring peace and grace for my sins, redeem me from the pit and reconcile me back to You Father God. I want to love You more and more with every area of my life, in mind, body and soul. You Lord are willingly to set aside Your heavenly glory to come to earth to die on the cross to save a sinner like me. I thank You that You rose to give me Your life and thank You that You live in me and I in You. This is a love that will never break.

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. Matthew 17:20
