Thought for Wednesday November 4

Blessed the man who is gracious and lends to those in need.
He dawns through the darkness, a light for the upright;
he is gracious and merciful and just.
Well for the man who is gracious and lends,
who conducts his affairs with justice.
Blessed the man who is gracious and lends to those in need.

Luke 14: 25 – 33 “Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? … In the same way, everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.”

Do these two sentences really belong together? Is renouncing all of my possessions the cost of discipleship?

Action: Let go of your attachment to one of your possessions without actually getting rid of it.
