God does not command all believers to sell everything they have. What he wants is believers who hold their possessions loosely, willing to sell or give away in order to help someone else.
Money seen as an end in itself quickly traps us and cuts us off from both God and the needy. The key to using money wisely is to see how much we can use for God’s purposes, not how much we can accumulate for ourselves. Does God’s love touch your wallet? Does your money free you to help others? Where do you put your time, money, and energy? What do you think about most? Consider how you should change the way you use your resources in order to reflect Kingdom values more accurately.
