This picture made me tear up... I think about all that we have and all that we complain about, how fortunate we are...yet we always want more. We are always searching for 'the new thing'. I guess this picture just struck home in part of my heart. There are people stuffing their carts with what they think is necessary while there are millions of children that don't even have a simple covering for their naked bodies or a scrap of food for their starving stomachs. DEFINE NECESSITY.
The Godly George Muller .( ran the orphanages) died owning next to nothing...chair bed spoons and clothes... about all.....cannot remember
ReplyDeletewhere/who but some christian once said
"take everything you own pile it up on your coffin" cannot remember the rest..... but those words stuck .....spend our lives hindering what the Lord wants of us being fixated on non essentials....if we can not take it with us do we need that object....so easy for things to become idols. Your posts cut to the truth :-)
