The best coins ever spent

'Sitting across from the offering box, he was observing how the crowd tossed money in for collection.  Many of the rich were making large contributions.  One poor widow came up and put in two small coins - a measly two cents.'
'Jesus called his disciples over and said, "The truth is that this poor widow gave more to the collection than all the others put together.  All the others gave what they will never miss; she gave extravagantly what she could not afford - she gave her all"
Mark 12:41-44

The greatest commandment is to love God, and second is to love others as you love yourself.  We should love with our whole heart and not halfheartedly; whether it is loving God, others or ourselves.

You are allowed to love yourself!

You should invest in and believe in yourself!
 
Actually you are commanded to do it by God in Matthew 22:37-39.
If you love yourself it will have a ripple effect onto others and God.

This lady gave her best to God.  She did it because she loved Him so much. 
She never thought that Jesus will use her as an example for what she did, that people would read about her for years to come.  She can really say that it was the best way she spent her coins.

I dare you to love yourself!

and

I double dare you to love God!
