How though am I still hurting ? How am I still doing the same "stuff"? Not being patient, focusing way too much on earnings and how to spend those earnings. The Focus of our lives must be on the Central aspect of our lives, the Cross of Jesus, the Relationship of His Spirit, and our daily surrender to the Father. This One Thing, that is to be willed, this One Thing, that is to be the focus our watch. Is the One Thing we reject constantly. We neglect , we quench, and we do not pray. We instead bark, complain, and mouth curses. Our hearts should be full of trust, instead greed. Bitterness and resentment towards any that would come between our comforts that we are now entitled to. Trampling the souls that would come near. Why? What was the lesson? Was there sanctification or just mere change of circumstantial surroundings?
Date we finally moved in : I wrote this:
When our souls are tied up to
material pleasures...
they will never be happy
When our idol is money,
we wont have enough
When our idol is our home,
it will always
have something
wrong with it.
Its good to remember. Apart from God we are nothing. We have nothing. We are not happy. We are not at peace. We cannot serve money/mammon and love our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and body. Peace with this world, is enmity with God.
