I keep feeling like I am so tired of people saying "just make sure you are being wise" and when asking for prayer its always "if this is your will let it happen" I mean don't get me wrong I know theres truth there but it IS Gods will that we live fully for Him and care for 'the least of these' and we have been "wise" for far too long, I want to be foolish for Christ now! :)Christenhttp://lovewithrecklessabandonment.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144627286310639203.post-37584908429569152612011-04-11T19:43:04.021-04:002011-04-11T19:43:04.021-04:00Thanks, Shelley!

Here's what I read this morning from Luk...Amen! Here's what I read this morning from Luke 12: <br /><br />Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.<br /><br />“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.<br /><br />The rich man in this parable totally echoes our American mentality. "I've got to save up as much as possible for retirement, relax as much as possible, be as comfortable as possible and make my life happy!"<br /><br />And then Jesus couldn't have made Himself any clearer in the subsequent verses: "This very night your life will be demanded from you." and "Sell your possessions and give to the poor."<br /><br />Where my treasure is, there's my heart. Does my life really reflect my love for Christ, or am I too consumed with this world?<br /><br />I've probably read this chapter 100 times, but it's never really stood out to me until now. Until this past year, I never realized that I was sucked so deeply into our culture, that one couldn't tell me apart from the rest of the world.<br /><br />Thank you, Lord, for changing my heart! (...still got's a long way to go...)<br />Love you, T<br />TColleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17916302741303913294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144627286310639203.post-36503648534879142692011-04-11T08:44:22.994-04:002011-04-11T08:44:22.994-04:00AMEN!!
