Luke 21: 3-4 ” ‘I tell you the truth,’ He said, ‘this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.’ “

Anytime sacrificial giving is mentioned, people get real antsy.  It’s not that we don’t want to give to Kingdom work…it’s just that we’re selfish.  Now you’re probably thinking I’m talking about money…No, I’m not!  I’m talking about something far more valuable to you than money…it’s your time.  We’ll happily give to charitable organizations, relief funds, and soup kitchens…but ask us to volunteer our time and that’s a different story.  It says in II Corinthians 8:12, “For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have.”   God wants you,  not your money…He wants you to volunteer rather than just donate to the cause…He wants you to give sacrificially of your most valuable resource…yourself.
