lilies & sparrows

We spin and toil wondering how to figure this life out, how to balance it all, how to make the most of our lives, how to live it fully and how to be the brightest shining star. At least, this is where I find my mind wondering regularly. Not proudly.

And true to form, Blake Mycoskie says it so simply yet so right.

Spend Less, Give More.

That’s all. 

The Lord wrote it, demonstrated it and we’re called to live it. You are a steward of your life, a manager of what you have been given and scripture says that “to whom much has been given, much is expected.” 

My mind instantly barks “but what about those to whom much haven’t been given?” Scripture doesn’t address them. Why? 

Because we all have been given the Kingdom. And if this is true, is there anything we lack? Much has been given to all of us. The currency of Heaven is not the currency of Earth.

Spend Less, Give More. I’m navigating this along with you; let’s figure it out together? I do not believe the Lord is asking me to give up leopard and sequins, but I do believe He is asking me spend wisely, pull back and invest my resources (time, money and wisdom) into the Kingdom. 

What are your thoughts?
