Life is not Possessions, Lk. 12:15amp
[15] Then He said to them, “Watch out and guard yourselves against every form of greed; for not even when one has an overflowing abundance does his life consist of nor is it derived from his possessions.”
Life is not derived from possessions. Life is not about how many things you've acquired. It is not measured by how many cars or homes you own. It is not measured by if you have the latest game system or the latest pair of Jordans. First of all, who gives a rip what you or I have? I don't and God especially doesn't.
We worship Him, not possessions. We worship Him, not other people or their possessions. Your “things” will not get you eternal life with the Father. Trust and believe that. Don't get it twisted. Believing in, following and serving Jesus will. Being a servant first and foremost like Jesus will. When you're busy serving others instead of yourself, possessions pale in comparison to the blessings that abound when you are obedient to the Lord.
Jesus said even when you have more than enough it still means nothing. Even if you're filthy rich your life is STILL empty without Him and always will be until you make Him the center of your life.
