I was selling something the other day when an old car pulled up. A mother and daughter got out and walked up.
I could tell there was a different spirit on the daughter. A seriousness I rarely see in someone that young.
As I showed her what I was selling, I could tell she didn’t have enough. She looked over her money , shook her head, then looked up into my eyes.
She then said something I’ve heard a thousand times but in a spirit of utter certainty: “I will be back”.
It caught me off guard how much she packed into those words. I knew she was telling the truth. It struck me so much I remarked about it to a friend.
Awhile later, the same beat-up car came back. I prepared myself to sell a small quantity. But I felt the Lord stop me, and somehow I knew they were coming for all of it.
The daughter got out and started handing everything to me.
One dollar bills, five dollar bills, and finally, a medicine bottle filled with ten dollars in quarters.
They had gone and scraped together everything they had.
I was handing over the entire purchase when the daughter ran back to the car.
I was shocked to see her coming back with money in her hand.
With her last few dollars, she was giving me a tip.
As they left, I heard the Lord speaking clearly about the widow in the Bible who gave everything she had.
That’s the heart God is looking for.
