EQUALITY IN GIVING AND RECEIVING

Luke claims that”the company of those who believed were of one heart and soul.” (V.32) The fact that ”no one said any of the things which he possessed was his own, but that they had everything in common” is amazing. Can this be possible? We cannot take our possession with us as we go into the oblivion of death, but we can pass financial power to our offspring, to someone in need or to the poor. The Luke 18:24 reminds us of what Jesus said. ” How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the Kingdom of God!” It was possible then for those who believed to be of one heart and soul. Is it not possible for us to be of one heart and soul?

Dear God,
Help us to share our gifts and possessions with one another and especially with people in need. Grant us all oneness in heart and soul that we may be generous in help. - Amen
