Mother Teresa: Wasting

Making the most of your time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:16

“We fear the future because we are wasting today.”

Mother Teresa (1910-1997).

Sorry for the late post. I had a challenging day of travel and I am still only as far as Houston. I thought it had posted, but it had not, hence it is arriving a bit late.

Fear is a leading hindrance to generosity. Mother Teresa brings out an interesting dynamic here that fear of the future links to our stewardship today.

When we feel good about doing what we can for God with what we have, we have no fear of the future. The more He entrusts to us, the more responsibility.

Our stewardship either flows from fear of God or fear of the future. Which fear drives you?
