Sunday Reflection (September 25, 2022)

First Timothy points out that the craving for riches distorts our perspective on life and damages our relationship with God and other in that the love of money, or power, or fame alienates us from God and neighbor (1 Timothy 6:9-10). Yet, what shall we do if we have abundance? Paul has an answer and I paraphrase: Those with abundance give thanks and share (6:17-19)!
Doing good, being generous, and being ready to share brings contentment with godliness (6:6-8). How often do we miss the small things in life that are truly valuable and priceless because we chase after the wrong things? Contentment combined with godliness is great gain! May what we do from everyday activities to politics be rooted and grounded in love and compassion.
