HE KNOW WHAT YOU WANT
HE KNOWS WHAT IS BEST
GO WITH WHAT HE KNOWS
RELAX AND ENJOY
THE REST IS FOOD FOR THE WORMS
The world teaches us…
to want more.
God teaches us…
to appreciate what we’ve already been entrusted with.
Then, more will be given. God does not reward
bad behavior. Look into this for results wanted
One of the greatest freedoms I’ve discovered…
is learning to be content with my portion.
Not because I stopped dreaming.
Not because I stopped growing.
But because I finally realized…
everything I temporarily possess…
has been entrusted to me.
Nothing truly belongs to me.
Not my house.
Not my possessions.
Not even this body.
It has all been placed into my care…
for a little while.
We arrive with empty hands.
We leave with empty hands.
Somewhere in between…
we become stewards.
EVERYTHING IS ON LOAN
The question isn’t…
“How much do I own?”
The better question is…
“What am I doing with what God has trusted me to manage?”
Our time.
Our family.
Our friendships.
Our abilities.
Our resources.
Our opportunities.
Every one of them is a gift.
Every one of them carries responsibility.
Contentment isn’t settling for less.
Contentment is recognizing that today’s portion…
is sufficient for today’s assignment.
The grateful steward enjoys life…
without needing to possess it.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
If everything in your life has been entrusted to you…
how differently would you care for it today?
PUT LEGS ON IT
Take care of what you already have.
Thank God for today’s portion.
Use your gifts generously.
Share your blessings freely.
Repair instead of replacing.
Serve instead of accumulating.
Become known…
not for what you own…
but for how faithfully you cared for it.
RICHIE SPEAKING
The older I become…
the less interested I am in owning more things.
I’m far more interested in leaving behind more love.
PEARLS CONNECTION
📖 Pearls for the Soul reminds us that contentment grows wherever stewardship replaces ownership. We are passing through this life as caretakers, not permanent possessors. When we gratefully accept our portion, we discover a peace that endless accumulation can never provide.
FINAL THOUGHT
Everything…
is on loan.
Enjoy it.
Care for it.
Share it.
Then leave this world…
having managed God’s gifts well.
— Richie
