Your Unfinished Business

Easily read in a day, Your Unfinished Business is for those who don't want to settle for just avoiding what's unpleasant or seeking what makes us happy. Too many advise you to resign yourself to your fate. Their message is this: You may not be able to control your circumstances, but you can control how you respond to them. Nothing could be further from the truth. You can control your circumstances.

Instead of fatalistically accepting what comes your way and trying to feel good about it, you can turn your circumstances, even the unpleasant ones, into tools that can change reality. You control your circumstances the way you control something entrusted to you. That's because you have unfinished business, having been called to be a steward of your circumstances. Stewardship isn't about what you do with your money, although that's what seems to be told to us regularly. Nor is it about positive thinking. Instead, it's the only way to integrate faith into daily living, turning your circumstances into tools working toward a greater good rather than working you over. And that greater good is turning them into beacons drawing attention to the God who calls everyone to Himself.

Your Unfinished Business will help you stop expecting anything from this world and take up the unfinished business of meeting this world's needs for direction, decency, and compassion at the times and places God has placed you. Sowing faith, hope, and love so others can reap truth, goodness, and mercy, you'll discover that who you are, what you know, and what you do are channels through which God touches this broken world.
