“The community of believers was of one heart and
mind and no one claimed that any of his possessions
was his own.” - Acts 4:32 All that we are and all that
we have is a gift from God! Think of your family, your
friends, your talents and abilities – these are all gifts
from God. We aren’t really owners of anything, we
are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has blessed us
with.
