Love Is The Gauge

God does not measure man with gold;
All moneys of this earth are His.
But what He wants that you should hold,
And what God values most is this;

Devoted love within the heart;
He cares not for this earths prestage
Nor how man fares in earths free mart.
But what is left, He makes the gauge.

Disciples wondered at Gods plan
"How shall a rich man enter in?"
So blind were they at gaudy man
So greedy for a purse to win.

T’was she, a widow, who gave all
She gave from out her frugal store,
But Jesus, though the gift was small,
Said that the widow cast in more.

"And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:" Mark 12:43
