God doesn’t count our possessions but looks at us with eyes of affection that’s worth quite more than anything we possess. Human vanity may make us feel that possessing things makes us more valuable. These items we own are only temporary and must be put in perspective. God values us even after we don’t have anything. The human desire for material things can often take our sights off of what God has in store for us.


When we prioritize the things that we have and focus on our life with Christ, we will find happiness. We must never begin to think that because we have many things, we can then just sit back and relax. We must look at how we use the things that we have and ask ourselves if there is more to life than being satisfied with oneself. Can we help to bring happiness to others with the things that we have?
