"Alégrense siempre, oren constantemente, den gra-cias en todas las circunstancias; porque esta es la voluntad de Dios en Cristo Jesús para vosotros." - 1 TESALONICENSES 5:16 - 18

Esta lectura de las escrituras ejemplifica la corresponsabilidad. "Alégrense siempre" significa poner tu confianza en Dios; Él te proporcionará todo lo que necesites. "Orar constantemente" significa que la oración debe ser una conversación corriente con Dios durante todo el día, todos los días. "Dar gracias en todas las circunstancias" significa incluso en las malas situaciones, dar gracias a Dios. Sufrir un poco ayuda a generar empatía para con los demás en situaciones similares.

“Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” - 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16 -18

This scripture reading exemplifies Stewardship. “Rejoice always” means place your trust in God; He will provide all that you need. “Pray constantly” means prayer should be a running conversation with God throughout the whole day, every day. “Give thanks in all circumstances” means even in bad situations, thank God. Suffering a little bit helps build empathy for others in similar situations.
