Stewardship Reflection

“Everyone of you who does not re-

nounce all his possessions cannot be

my disciple.” LUKE 14:33

When we first hear this statement, it seems that Je-

sus is making an unrealistic demand upon us. How

can we renounce all of our possessions? We need

them to live. However, what we must renounce is the

belief that they belong to us. Everything that we

have belongs to God alone. All of our resources are

entrusted to us not only for our own use, but also so

that we can help others. Once we renounce the idea

that we possess or are entitled to anything, it is

much easier to share the many gifts that God has

given us. Then we truly are His Disciples.

Relevant Radio

When you leave today, please tune into 1430 AM,

Relevant Radio. It can help bridge the gap between

Faith and everyday life! Give 1430 AM a try. If you

like it, tell a friend.
