When Much Is Required

we do a lot of things that we enjoy in our lives yet much is required of those who want to abide by Jesus Christ we've gotten so consumed with today's technological toys and forgotten that Jesus died so we could have eternal joy we're so caught up in society's ideology to busy to reciprocate God's generosity and until some great catastrophe occurs in life we seldom take a moment to think about the Lord Jesus Christ when much has been given to you then much will be required concessions and sacrifices are the things you should strive to aspire mankind has developed a natural tendency to destroy anything of nature and beauty that God has deployed no regard for humanity nor the creatures on this earth we're selfish in our desires, our wants and needs come first and when we confront each other, we tend to tear each other down with words to humiliate, debase and knock each other to the ground we thrive on destructive rage, yet struggle with constructive praise we easily succumb to violence, always fighting among ourselves dismissing God's instruction about sustaining spiritual wealth for whatever God has created He desires we not abuse yet mankind is apt to be disobedient in the decisions that we choose God gave us so many wonderful things to enhance our existence gifts that He desires we use without the indifference so don't misuse the gifts from God for that is not what He perceived He wants us to maximize everything that from Him we have received just don't measure yourself by the standards of today's society and don't get confused about what is God's generosity It's not about the quantity of the stuff in life that you get It's about the quality of your faith concerning your own spirit and If you don't know what much is you need to know how much you've got for you probably have more than you need and don't need to go out and shop if we'd all stop abusing, stop misusing and no longer to be confused just abide by God's commands and to live by the Good News for when much has been given to you then much will be required so conserve, preserve and respect all those things that God Himself inspired
