Giving…Not Taking

Hebrews 10:34
You even joined in the sufferings of those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you had a better and lasting possession.

What is at the center of your motivation for whatever you do? Is it to please your ego…or to please God? We tend to treasure material possessions and wealth…while God treasures love, mercy, forgiveness and compassion. We are actually spiritual beings in the process of becoming the unique expression of God’s love…but many times we get lost in the grasping for power, prestige and wealth. All those things you will have to let go of when you die. Why not start letting go of them now? You will never know who you are…until you focus your life on God. God loved you into existence…and will never let you go!
