Daily Scripture

16 The first came forward and said, ‘Lord, your pound has made ten more pounds.’ 17 He said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been trustworthy in a very small thing, take charge of ten cities.’ (Luke 19. 16-17)

Daily Reflection

There is a wonderful truth at the heart of creation that’s called growth. Seeds fall to the ground, produce plants and trees that give life to flowers and fruit in plenty, each containing seeds of continuing growth. God’s creation is beautiful, full of colour and abundance - it is generous and it is life giving. It’s the way God wants to work in us, with the same generosity and beauty and the same joyful purpose to bring life in all its fullness.

How we use all that we have been given in this life - our time, our skills, our love, our wealth - will entirely depend on what we fundamentally believe about the one who gives. God gives everything in abundance, so give to others with the same imagination, beauty and generosity.
