Materialism… #renew

letting go of the need of wanting moreMaterialism.

It can be like a noose around my neck…not even realizing it’s there, but it tightens little by little.  The next thing you know you feel strangled… even suffocated…

It’s the worst…

Letting go of the need of wanting more, needing more is a gift…

It’s a calmness that only God can install in our hearts.  A gift of contentment and peace…

“So don’t be afraid little flock.  For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.  Sell what you have and give to those in need. 

This will store up treasure for you in heaven.  And the purses in heaven have no holes in them, Your treasure will be safe.  No thief can steal it and no moth can destroy it.

Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be..”

Luke 12: 32-34

I love how God calls us His little flock…

It’s so sweet, and personal…

Dear Heavenly Father, Good Morning.  I come before You this new day so thankful to know You are near.  So thankful You love me so dearly, and whisper truths so deeply…

Materialism can darken our thoughts from hope and goodness,  to need and want.

So deceiving and squelching…

Thank You for Your sweet reminders that we don’t have to hold on to things.. we can let go and trust You with it all…

We can be content with what we have, because You open our eyes… soften our hearts and fill us with good desires..

Desires to please You and to love others.

Kindness.. gentleness and self-control are all a gift from You and I thank You from the bottom of my heart for filling me with Your Spirit of love and truth.

I give You my day, Oh Lord, and open my hands wide…

All that I am, all that I have is Yours…

Walking in Your peace, and thanking You for Your love..

In Jesus Name,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa

“Then He said, “Beware! Don’t be greedy for what you don’t have.  Real life is not measured by how much we own..”

Luke 12:15

I love You, Jesus…

 Protect our hearts and keep our eyes on the things above…
