There's a difference between striving for more and tending what you already have. Striving looks outward, always reaching. Tending looks down, at what is already in your hands, and asks, "How do I care for this well?"
I think God asks us to tend what He has given us. Not to do everything. Just to tend what is ours.
"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much." (Luke 16:10, NIV)
The life you have right now, the people in your home, the work in front of you, the ordinary rhythms of your days, this is what God has entrusted to you. Not as a limitation, but as a gift. And how you tend it matters.
Faithfulness is not about doing more. It's about doing what is yours to do with care, with presence, with love. It's about showing up for the small things and trusting that God sees.
You don't have to prove yourself by reaching for what is not yet yours. You prove yourself by caring well for what already is.
What has God already given you that needs your care today?
