A Pointing Finger

Is it a rule? Or is it vision?

"They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”
⏤ Mark 12:44

Not an accusatory finger. But a pointing finger. I remember when my grandfather would put his left hand on my shoulder while he pointed at something with his right, helping me to see what he saw. Maybe a bird, a squirrel, or a particular tree. The Mosaic Law, parables, the Sermon on the Mount, and Jesus's royal law are all ways God helps us to see what he sees. Then suddenly, "There! I see it!"
