Healing Our Blindness
The value of stewardship living is difficult to see unless we are experienc-
ing that way of life for ourselves. You can read 100 Everyday Stewardship
reflections and go to church every Sunday, but unless you are actively
growing in faith and trying to live a life of generous stewardship, you can-
not see the power of such a lifestyle. Like most things, we need direct,
purposeful experiences to really understand.
I worked in a stewardship parish for over 20 years, but it was only after I
started treating all I have as God’s, and began to actively offer all I am to
Him for His glory, that I really got the message. That doesn’t mean I am a
perfect steward. Far from it! However, the stress and anxiety that comes
with life has greatly diminished because all is in God’s hands. I choose to
act more generously than before, which provides me with a sense of fulfill-
ment and joy. How I act towards my family, friends, and even people I
meet daily has changed. Now I am more mindful of their presence, and I
seek to give them a part of me that just might change their day and bring
them a little closer to Christ. I am transforming into a disciple who seeks
to use all I have been given to transform all that is around me.
It would be a shame to be blind to the important things for an entire life.
Today, consider taking a path of life-changing stewardship. Give it all to
God. In the midst of all you have been given, you just might find God in a
profound way. You may even find the real person God created you to be.
