How do we know our sacrifices for God matter?

God's attention to even the smallest acts of faith is evident in the story of the widow’s mite, where Jesus points out that her two mites, although materially insignificant, held profound spiritual significance. This teaching emphasizes that God measures value differently than humanity does, seeing the heart's intent rather than the outward display of wealth. The phrase 'God loves a cheerful giver' in 2 Corinthians 9:7 reiterates that our willing, faithful sacrifice is what pleases God.
