Dear brothers, we all know the phrase: “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s; . and to God what is God’s “When Jesus says this, He causes us to reflect: What is fair? What is right? What path should we take?
But what is of God? Your time to be with Him, your family, your marriage, your faith, your gifts, your abilities … All this the Lord who gave you; therefore they deserve all your dedication.
Few things belong to the world, so it should be well carried out, such as work, for this, that dignifies man, belongs to him. However, this should not take the essential time, because nothing of work will be taken up to heaven. Assets acquired here are graces that God has given us, but are only part of the earthly life.
My brothers, do not lose sight of what in fact is of God. Let us fight for make the things of God fruitful because everything that comes from the Lord remains forever.
Always in prayer,
Your brother,
