STUFF

We all got stuff. We all have so much of it. Possessions, memories, feelings and a host of other things we collect.

Now some might not consider emotions and memories as stuff. But they are in many ways.

Just not always a bad thing. Sometimes it can be a valuable part of life. But it is still a furnishing of the mind.

The items we collect and hold onto even try to acquire in some special way, from others. All part of the nature of life.

Some have tried to not make this a good thing. They will act as if they stuff one has is a detractor from spirituality.

Then you have the other extreme. The people who act as if their stuff is a blessing from God.

Which naturally it is there opinion. And I don’t think the Lord expects us all to live like paupers.

Neither do it seem that He is going to cure poverty in the world either. That is not how things work.

Nor does He promise to end that problem in life. Or a host of other things either. So in that regard I do appreciate each life has its consequences.

Some we can control others we can not. And that is all part of the way we face life in faith.

It is never the same for everyone. I am grateful for the many blessings the Lord has granted my life.

Yet it is hardly a perfect life. And that is all the way it has been. I am not as bad off as some or as well off as others.

But I have learn to not make stuff my priority. Just accept that it will be part of our life. And to try and keep in balance what is important.

Namely that we live in our lives with surrendering it all to the Lord. Then His Spirit can teach us what is the way we are to use our stuff.

It is wonderful to have piece over our lives. To let it be the joy from remembering all we have is what God gave us.

And know He can add or take it away as He wills.
