If you’re a Christian, then Jesus has given you your ultimate cause: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37−39). This shapes how we spend money, how we spend our time, how we treat strangers, how we handle those who have hurt us, what values we impart to our children, and how we speak to those we love.
