To say one thing and to do the opposite must be the hardest moral strife for the human heart to bear. Those who live with two faces live in a restless state. Their conscience dictates one way, but their deeds are displayed conspicuously to the contrary. They have a responsibility to fulfill, yet they waste time in peripheral nonsense. Having two faces creates suspicion in human relationships. On one hand, there seems to appear a great blessedness when the steward employs skills like kindness and prudence, deals intelligently, and does more in less time (Luke 16: 1-13). Yet, on the other hand, he still undermines the wishes and desires of the master. How do we see this in our life? In our relationship with Christ and His Church, do we recognize the great blessedness in possessing a love for God and in putting our skills, talents, and gifts to use solely for God’s glory and the establishment of His Kingdom? Does everything we do, ranging from conducting family activities to receiving phone calls at the office or going to parties, have this unifying drive for God’s glory and the establishment of His Kingdom?
