On holding the things of this world loosely...

 

 

Hold loosely to the things of this world...

 

The 'things' this world would have us believe are important...

 

The 'things' that even some that walk our same path... who follow our same Saviour...

 

'Things' they would have us believe are an outward sign of His favour...  His blessing.

 

 

Don't be fooled dear one...

 

 

Hold very, very loosely.

 

Regardless of the whispering you hear...

 

Those fears that you don't have 'enough'...

 

That you need 'more'... 'new'... 'different'...

 

Release your grip.

 

Let it go.

 

For you?

 

You are the most beautiful, most precious creation of the Most High God...

 

 

Flesh and bone and spirit and soul.

 

Created in His image.

 

For things far, far greater than the mere eye could ever see.

 

 

You

 

 

... are not of this world....

 

A world in which we so often get completely immersed in...

 

That we so often allow ourselves to become enslaved to...

 

The price is high.

 

For the sheer weight of all these 'things' can become like a millstone.

 

Taking us down... down... down...

 

Further and further away.

 

From peace.

 

Joy.

 

Gratitude.

 

From Jesus.

 

This breathtakingly beautiful world... filled with blessings... oh yes!

 

Yes... from His Hand.

 

It is merely the backdrop to our journey.

 

 

'Home'

 

 

To Him.
