     What I got from Jesus is: Entrusted to you the true riches

     What I received from Jesus today is a wish most people want : to be rich, truly rich.

     But, do you know what is true riches? Last two days we read about what does it means by renouncing all those things we might have lording us so that we can announce that Jesus is Lord. We see the vivid example of the prodigal son as a classic example of what does it means by not renouncing all we have but to announce to ourselves and other people that we get what we want.

     Today, Jesus gives us a final message on this theme of announcing or denouncing, of Jesus is Lord or we as lord, on offering our time and money to God or wasting and spending all our time and money to our own selfish use.

    The key is whether we can be God's faithful and honest manager or to be a dishonest manger. The consequence is the vivid example of the rich man and Lazarus. Who do you think you would become at the end of your life? 

Dear Lord Jesus,

Lead us to be a faithful and honest manager for your Kingdom business. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
