Meaning
The word "OVerus" means "acceptable" as it relates to Christian stewardship. The word is derived from the Latin "verus," which translates to "true" or "proper." The Latin to English translation of OVerus is, "of truth," or "a longing for truth."
We also like to think that God watches, "Over Us."
