Everything, yet nothing

It’s easy to think the world revolves around money since everything seems to have a cost.

We buy all the fancy cars, houses, shoes or appliances. And if we can’t afford them we lust for them or take out loans. We strive for them.

Once we get the car or the house or the wife or the kids we think we will be happy. But when we find get them we look for the next thing. It’s never enough, it never fulfills us.

That’s because the things of this world can never fill the God sized whole in our hearts.

You think of the Egyptian kings. When they died they had all their earthly possessions placed in their pyramids with their sarcophagus (coffin). They believed their gold and goods would go with them to the afterlife.

We know that we can’t take anything with us to heaven. All we have are the people we love and those we tell about Jesus.

It’s good to have goals and things to aspire to. But when we idolize money it is soul crushing. It brings worry and pain that is unneeded. God is the ultimate provider. He will take care of you. IF he feeds the sparrows and takes care of them how much more does he love you and want to take care of you.

You are enough. When you decide to be grateful and choose love and joy you will find that what you have is enough. When we have Jesus we have everything we need.
