Christ bids his people both to wisely get and freely give, and he supplies us with the grace we need to discern when to do what with our talents.

When do we experience the love of God most deeply? Not when we get whatever we want, but when he does whatever it takes to satisfy us in himself.

God has given us a high and holy calling in Christ. But can a Christian ever be too hard on himself as he strives to live up to that calling?
