ADVENTure 9 - "Invest"
24 DAILY REFLECTIONS, LEARNING ABOUT MISSION WITH THE LIGHTWAVE COMMUNITY
“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Luke 12.32-34
What does a good investment look like?
We are learning that it is not necessarily where we might get a short term financial return!
People – and especially those who have little financially – are Jesus’ treasure. This is where we need to invest our finance and our efforts. Investing deeply in people is not just an approach in Christian mission – It is the mission. When we pour out ourselves for the sake of others, we participate in God’s redemptive work; his transforming love.
Lord Jesus, We see how, when you walked the earth, you valued even unlikely people and nurtured the potential of fishermen, children and taxcollectors You invested in them and sent them out to transform the world.Show us how we can invest in people’s lives for they are your treasure. Amen
