The sermon in my church last Sunday reminded me that we often think that we are the legitimate owner of what we have instead of just a manager of God-given talents and material blessings. The sermon mainly talked about our material things. But then I think it is also applicable to anything in our life, be it a spouse, a child, family members or friends or skills such as our ability to think and work.
Now that my fast thinking and confident feeling are back, would I be upset if I lose them again? If it is just something that God entrust to loan them to me, why am I afraid of losing them? On the contrary, I know exactly that those are not mine and someway they will be gone. Only our relationship with God last forever. Not our abilities. Not our wealth. Not our friends and family.
So if I am a manager, what do I do while it is still with me? Isn’t to use them well? Isn’t taking care that they can be used for longer time instead of burning them away for immediate gains?
Let’s remember that all things are by God’s grace and so let’s be joyful, to enjoy God and His love and grace and share them to others.
