He sees

Luke 21:1-5

"And He looked up and saw...a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites."

He sees. The things that are beneath the notice of many are not lost to Him. The smile, the kind word, the act of self-denial that looks so easy on the outside, but in reality required "all that she had" God notices; and it brings a smile to His face.

"It is the unpretending acts of daily self-denial, performed with a cheerful, willing heart, that God smiles upon." "Nothing is so small and obscure that it is beneath his notice."

Eternal opportunities

James, John, Peter & Judas. "...these were the objects of Christ's greatest solicitude and the recipients of His most frequent and careful instruction."

Really! Judas, too? What made the difference between him and the other three?

"Peter, James & John sought every opportunity of coming into close contact with their Master, and their desire was granted." Ed 86-87

Follow the lives of each of those men... What a difference! Is anything worth missing an opportunity to sit at His feet?
