Mark 12


And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. And he called his disciples to him and said to them, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on." Mark 12:41-44 (ESV)

The text states that Jesus watched people as they put their offering into the box. I'm pretty certain that Jesus watches our giving too. The amount (based on our means), the quality and the condition of our heart. Am I giving my best in these areas? SWC
