We see an illustration of it in the widow who gave of all she had to serve Elijah, in the midst of the desperation of a drought, trusting in God's Word through Elijah that she would have enough. Then, God provided abundantly.
Jesus acclaimed a widow who put two small coins in the Temple treasury, demonstrating how she was giving out of her livelihood, all she had, as a sacrificial offering.
These stories remind us that we can trust God because He sent His Son Jesus Christ, Who, just days after this encounter with the widow in the Temple, would give totally of Himself on the Cross as the all-sufficient sacrifice that would bring us salvation.
As people saved and chosen by God, we are called to follow in the way of our Savior to live, giving of ourselves sacrificially to honor God while serving others.
