Good stewards

Laura Remmerde

I love an insight I had while reading a Christian Science Bible Lesson on “Sacrament.” It talked of being “good stewards” (I Peter 4:10) of the grace of God. I understood this to mean that as we grow closer in our daily walk to the truths of the Science of the Christ, then our responsibility is to be “good stewards.” This would include loving our fellow man enough to see him or her as the beloved child of God, and to lift them up in our thoughts, knowing the truth about them, whether they know it themselves—and even doing so whether or not they are treating us as we would like to be treated! If we know the truth, then we must share it by living it to the best of our ability. It has been given to us, as Christians, in trust for the world. By letting our light shine, we shower the reflected light of God on others, and help to lift them up.
