"Think of your brethren like unto yourselves, and be familiar with all and free with your substance, that they may be rich like unto you.
But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God."
Jacob 2:17-18
I really like this ideal. It is hard for us to step outside ourselves enough to really get in this mindset I think, but the more we do, the more we can learn to love everyone, and feel that we are sharing God's bounty rather than sacrificing our own scarce resources. Part of it is faith... knowing that God will continue to bless us, and bless us even more as we help lift others.
Today, let's talk to God and work to find that mental space where we really think of others as equals and friends, and are willing to give abundantly to them. And, as always, let's make sure we put the kingdom of God ahead of our own interests.
