True or False?
The true value of a sacrifice is not measured in cash. The value of the sacrifice depends upon its worth to the person who makes the offering. If you believe you are worthless, then all your self-sacrifice is meaningless. It is as if you, seeing a beggar on the street, give him the change you had in your hand after buying a candy bar at the convenience store, money you might have dropped on the sidewalk and not bothered to pick up. It may be true that you are not selfish, but you cannot be called generous if you give only what you do not value. Only when you value yourself will you have anything to offer to anyone else. Only when you value yourself can you act with love.

I think there is value on both sides of the gift, and I agree that the less you have, the more generous your gifts are.
