“Riches without charity are nothing worth; they are only a blessing to those who make them a blessing to others.”
Sarah Fielding (1714-1768) English authoress in Day’s Collacon, compiled and arranged by Edward Parsons Day (New York: IPPO, 1884) 903.
There’s a common expression people use: all is grace. It means that everything we have is the result of God’s grace in our lives: our life, our salvation, our resources, everything. All is grace.
With that, we must not forget that the Greek word for grace is charis. In other words, it came to us from God and must flow through us to others. That’s what charity is all about.
Consequently, material blessings only take on their rightful function when they are handled with grace. This is God’s design for all things. All is grace.
