There is a constant worry that we will never be able to afford something. We do all the sums, make all the calculations and consider the future. Often there is a great anxiety about paying all the bills and making all the ends meet. Yet the major consideration is who do we become? There can often be a tendency to overemphasise the cost of everything and the value of nothing. We often grab the bull by the horns and then worry whether we can stay on for the ride.
Yet in the Gospel, Jesus challenges us to see what we value first so that can be the motivator for our whole life. If we seek something which will sustain us in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, in joyful times and in sad times. Essentially, Jesus points to how our relationship with God and each other sustain us. It calls us to look at what has eternal value, not just transitory worth. It calls for our prayer to translate into action. By seeing our lives as God sees them we find that we have eternal worth and value.
