“Enough-ness” and “Stewardship”

We attend church and pray. And we know and understand and do  our best to do what our leaders suggest. We volunteer and give to various causes in the community. We pride ourselves and say that this is enough and return to our lives of hard work and hard play.

Maybe we should put the love we learn in church into action in the form of love in the community. We should take our love and share this, not necessarily with the person in the pew next to us, but with the poor family living in the dirt of the city streets. And we must share our most precious possession, our wealth.

Is it necessary to show off driving to church in a Porsche 911 when a Ford Mustang is also sporty? Jesus asks us to love our neighbor as ourselves, but we don’t. Let us forget our tithe and begin to share. Stewardship is making sure our neighbor has enough to support himself, not enough to continually accept handouts.

Henceforth, let us love God with all our hearts, then love our neighbor as ourselves. Then perhaps you will understand when I say ,“I Love You!”
