The Good Steward

Jesus prayed and thanked the Father for all those who the Father had given to Him, saying "all mine are thine, and thine are mine" (KJV John 17:9-10) and we are to do the same with those who the Father directs to us, to look after and care for, our families, our friends, our acquaintances, strangers, and those we meet in our daily walk, we are to thank God for bringing them to us and allowing us to minister to them, to help them, and to love them with His divine Love, His Divine Nature. It's a job that is so important and one that God judges us by, how we treat our neighbor, Jesus used several examples, and one being His Word to the apostles, Matthew 25:35 - 40"For I was a hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty , and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:(36)Naked and ye clothed me:I was sick and you visited me: I was in prison and ye came unto me.(37) Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?(38)When saw we thee a stranger and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? (39)Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? (40)And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Insasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." this is so important. Judge not lest ye be judged, and by the highest standards will God judge our works as He has left us in charge, stewards, shephards, teachers, and overseers to His flock, and we are to minister unto them with the same anointing as Jesus had upon the earth as we are in His likeness, and were created in His likeness from the beginning. Keep God first place! Love your neighbor as yourself! Have a blessed day!
