He gives a percentage of all he has to the church and its mission. Money isn t the only blessing God gives us. We are all special creations of God. We have skills, talents, and abilities. Some are energetic, some patient listeners, some artistic, some organized.
Some people have lots of time on their hands.
Whatever we are, whatever gifts God has given us, Jesus asks that we be shrewd with these gifts so that benefit goes to the kingdom of grace. Friends bring joy into our lives, and there is great joy to be found in using what we have to serve the Lord. Our lives are crowded with demands. So many bills to pay. So little time left for ourselves.
