Are we wasting our privileges?

Galatians 5:13 - "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. "


We are commanded to love one another.  True love for God can be seen by our willingness to meet the needs of others we're capable of serving.


I'm not wealthy, nor do I desire to be wealthy; other than my hope is to be wealthy in God.  Wealthy in His love and whatever God desires to give me financially, I hope that I'm giving it to the poor and needy; those who are so much less fortunate than I am.  It's all God's money anyway.  This is all temporary.  


Are we wasting what God has given us to use while here on earth, to meet our own needs?  We have a lot of potential with the privileges God gives us.  They can either make us prideful or make us a blessing to others.


Are you willing to let your privileges transform you into the person God desires you to be?
