It is only the third step which, when one takes it, confirms one's progress, making it impossible for one to return to where one was, and setting one's sights firmly ahead, on the goal, on the peak, if you will, that one is striving to ascend. So, too, with our journey of stewardship. As a spirituality stewardship has three steps that we are called to make so as to walk in the pathway of Jesus Himself. The first step of stewardship is a stewardship of time. Let me share with you the secret to getting more time, and even moreso, to getting enough time for yourselves, especially for your loved ones, and for the sake of all that you're called to do out of love for them, for the church, and the world.
Time is a creature.
He created it for us and for our benefit. We have the saying in our society that time heals everything. But in fact this is not true. A Christian reflecting on the meaning of created time understands what the Bible reveals to us, namely, that time is the way that God, who is immortal, shares His immortality with us who are mortal. Time is the necessary bridge God has built between heaven and earth by which we are enabled to cross from our mortality into His immortality.
