“A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.”
— Luke 12:15
The emphasis is mine.
The value of a man's life is not measured by the abundance of what he possesses.
It is not merely about how much you have, but what you do with what you have.
This is consistent with Paul's instruction to Timothy concerning those who are rich:
“Charge them that are rich in this world... that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate.”
— 1 Timothy 6:17–18
God may have entrusted you with wealth, influence, opportunities, education, business, possessions or other advantages.
But the question is:
What are you doing with them?
Are they being used only for yourself and your household?
Or are they becoming a blessing to someone else?
There is therefore something greater than merely having.
There is doing good.
There is being rich in good works.
There is being ready to distribute.
There is being willing to share.
Back to School Christ Compassion Innitiative is calling on everyone to partake in this ministry of compassion.
Perhaps there is a school bag in your house that your child has outgrown.
Perhaps there are shoes that no longer fit.
Perhaps there are unused exercise books and stationery.
Perhaps God has given you the financial capacity to provide these things for another child.
Don't underestimate what God can do through what He has placed in your hands.
Your abundance may be somebody else's provision.
