why is it sometimes so difficult to share?
Answers
Answer:
Jesus’ early disciples had a radical way of life that is extraordinary to read about. It’s detailed in the Bible, in the book of Acts. Inspired by Jesus’ life of love, they committed themselves to caring for each other as a family. People sold their stuff and gave their money away. They set up food programmes for the poor. They pooled their resources, and as it says in this verse, they ‘shared everything they had’.
Sharing doesn’t come naturally to most of us, as our exasperated parents could probably remind us. From an early age, our instincts are to protect what we have. We hoard our stuff. We guard our time. We find comfort and security in having plenty, even if it means somebody else misses out. Sharing takes generosity, and it also takes a degree of courage – we have to silence that little voice that says ‘mine!’, and trust that we will have enough.
