The daughter of a Presbyterian minister, one of my grandmother's favorite songs was Jesus Loves Me. She was a resonant alto and would drop into harmony. I remember singing with her riding in her Oldsmobile. She had the right idea- to remember that Jesus loves us; that  Stewardship is about remembering that  Jesus loves us; so then, it is about what we do with that love.

          Love, the inside-out kind of love, is perceived then shared with others. At that time , a funny thing can happen because we experience something much bigger than ourselves and we are changed.  Maybe Stewardship really is about us after all rather than about what we do for another.  We seem to need such experiences so our change leads to ministry and to knowing that we contribute and that our contribution is important. God's love for us is generous; there is no scarcity of love and we are free to pass it on so it will come back to us.
