No Worries

"A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of things he possesses.”-Jesus

I was thinking the other day: why do we always want MORE when we already have SO much?

God has blessed me beyond measure, with more than I need, and yet I still find myself worrying sometimes about things like money and clothes and food. Then I think about the people out there who don’t have even HALF of what I have; that actually, MOST of the world doesn’t have near what I have. And I feel self-conscious about not having the trendiest clothes, the cutest shoes, or the best haircut???  

Sometimes the things that consume our minds are SO not even what really matters. I want to set my sights on Heaven, not the silly things that distract us down here on Earth!

 

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

-Matthew 6:25-27
