"Realizing the Importance of
Material Things"
One of the more difficult things that I have to deal with in this society, is getting people to realize and understand that everything that is seen and/or known today is only temporary. I have tried to make it clear to most people time and time again, but they still want to make the material things in life out to be the most important things. If you do not believe Me, just let most people catch someone stealing from them and see just how understanding the one who was being stolen from can be. There are in fact times when someone's life has been taken over material things, when The Lord JESUS CHRIST suffered and was crucified over each of your lives and not over some material thing. Yes, I realize just how despicable a thief is, and yes I realize that most of them should indeed be punished, but is someone's life really and truly less important than a watch, car, truck, money, or any other such thing? Those of you who place more value on material things rather than on life itself, truly need to have a talk with The Lord JESUS, because He obviously got it all wrong.
So from this day forth My beloved, try to understand that everything you now possess and hope to possess in the future is only temporary, which means that you cannot take any of it with you when you go. Blessed are you who can see the reasoning behind that statement, because it can be so difficult for others to see, especially those who think that material or physical things are more important than someone's life. Those who end up having something stolen from them need to realize that there is nothing quite so important that it cannot be replaced. That which cannot be replaced by any means, is just a loss, but still not as important as a life. Sure there are times when lives are lost in the commission of a crime, which can occur on either side, but now that is when faith in The Lord JESUS CHRIST comes into play because if the one who is taken and the one who is left behind are in CHRIST JESUS, they will certainly meet again on the other side. Now may you be one who is in CHRIST, in and through His Mighty and Holy Name.
AMEN
