I know its only almost thanksgiving, but Christmas has been on my mind lately. Each year on Christmas day we all go down and open presents that the next year we wont even need or remember. and each year the selfish heart in us gets all greedy in wanting more and more and more. I know, it happens to me every year. But what if we gave instead of received this year? what if?
I had that thought today when i was sitting in a missions convo i had to go to. He was talking about all the need people in the world and how God equips us to go tell them about Him. I was just thinging about everything i WANTED for christmas. I dont NEED anything though. I just WANT. WANT. WANT. but why do i want more. whats that point? once i have clothes, a bed and food. i dont NEED anything, but more of God and family and Friends. The books on my shelf dont really get read they are just there for show, the movies only get watched every so often. the other random stuff never is used. Its all there to show people me? but am i my stuff? no of course not, i am me! And people should not judge me for my stuff but for how i act and what i do. Stuff does not matter. in the end it wont be there. It wont help us. But what will matter is what we do with this one life God has given. What we will do to show Him to others, and What we will do to get closer to Him.
Stuff doesnt matter, God matters, and what He wants us to do matters. So, listen to His voice and act. I know i will. =)
