John 6:27
“Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.”
How many of us are working for “food that perishes”? Each of us needs to ask ourselves, “For what purpose am I using my time, talent and treasure?” Is it to stockpile possessions, power and prestige…to build my own kingdom? Or is it to build God’s kingdom…in making the world a more loving, merciful, forgiving and compassionate place? How often do we spend quiet time with the Risen Christ…asking Him to show us how we can die to ourselves and surrender our egocentric desires so that we might experience the resurrection and new life? It’s the only way to discover your true self…the person made in the image of God. Using our time, talent and treasure for God’s purposes is what leads to fulfilling and joyful lives that never end.
