thoughts on assets and talents

“…already had in mind…”

…what do you already have in mind?  what do you accept is commonplace, for granted, impossible to be otherwise?  Jesus said, “Do not work for the food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you…”

Yet you come to me today like the crowd, trusting him in measures that boil down to satisfying our monetary concerns.  I know the amounts of cash that flow in and out, just as I know the count of your headhairs.

[But what I thought would be is not.  Please give the food that endures. Please give eternal life fruits for my soul is weak, and feeling pangs of hunger.  Give me faith to realize that you will bless what I give, the small loaves, the few fish.  This is not like Cain's offering, fruit of a cursed ground.  This is, I hope, the bread and fish of a poor boy.  They are meager and lacking much.  My assets, my talents--to be placed in your hands.]

I will bless them; giving thanks for them, I will break them, and I will multiply them.
