“If God was the owner, I was the manager. I needed to adopt a steward’s mentality toward the assets He had entrusted – not given – to me. A steward manages assets for the owner’s benefit. The steward carries no sense of entitlement to the assets he manages. It’s his job to find out what the owner wants done with his assets, then carry out his will.”
(Randy Alcorn, The Treasure Principle)
“At the end of your life on earth you will be evaluated and rewarded according to how well you handled what God entrusted to you.”
