What would you do if you won a billion dollars tomorrow?
If you won such an amount, you'd be free from responsibility. You wouldn't need to work. You'd have freedom from financial worry or constraint.
What would you do?
My thoughts often run to the things I'd do for myself. Houses, cars, travel, etc.
The Gospel is training us to think about others first. Our freedom, Paul says, is meant to serve one another in love. Whatever freedom we gain is to be used for others. In serving others, we live most closely to how God designed us to live, working together in love.
Our prayer, then, should be for God to lead our hearts to look to others first. May we be courageous enough to deny our own needs in a life of service to others.
