Friend, not slave
“I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.” John 15:15
God is the owner and master of everything. Yet we are not his slaves. We are the stewards he trusts; the ones he invites to know him and his will. When we embrace the role of steward, we open ourselves to know God more fully. We foster that relationship by:
- Attending Mass more frequently.
- Weaving more prayer into and throughout our busy days.
- Finding time to study Scripture and religious books, articles, or websites.
- Participating in faith-enrichment activities in the parish.
- Stopping into a church or chapel for quiet time alone with God.
Stewardship draws us closer to God. Reading this post is a sign of your desire for you and your family to know God more fully. May the Holy Spirit continue to work in and through your family as you grow as trusted stewards of all God has given you.
