"JESUS looked up and saw rich people putting their gifts into the treasury of the temple. HE also saw a poor widow, who dropped in two small coins. And HE said, 'Truly, I tell you, this poor widow put in more than all of them. For all of them gave an offering from their plenty; but she, out of her poverty, gave all she had to live on.'" - Luke 21:1-4
(The poor widow was the only one from among so many worshipers who made retribution to GOD as HE deserves. She was the personification of those uncountable poor, who have practically nothing but somehow find a way to give part of the little they have. The humble person is capable of sacrificing part of his paid time to study or participate in common activities in order to help his companions. The small salary he loses is worth much more than the big salary that wealthy people are not willing to lose. GOD calls on the poor before anybody else, because only the poor give all that they have to live on.)
