A little is a lot

After Luke 16:1-13

Being faithful in a little

holds the promise and likelihood

of being faithful in a lot,

and the converse is true:

being dishonest in a little 

holds the possibility and likelihood

of being dishonest in a lot.

A little is a lot,

and the money aside,

what will you do

with true riches, true wealth;

what will you do

with the great blessing 

entrusted to you. A choice:

serve one or serve the other.

Both demand complete devotion,

and you must choose between

a little and a lot.

Put your money

After Luke 16:1-13

Dismissal stared him in the face.

Therefore: step strong, act quickly.

To have friends after the fall,

he reduced debts, writing off the losses

for future gains and making friends

through shrewd dishonesty,

calculated through experience,

learned through a lifetime

of attitude, action, activity, avarice.

The master laughed.

The shrewdness was laudable

in its consistency, putting his money

where is heart was.
