10/17 Spanish Prayer & Life Grp 4:00pm REB How sad! The man had the wonders of the Lord
right there in front of him. He could have become
one of the Lord's closest disciples. Jesus heard him say that
he had kept the commandments. Jesus knew that he was a
good man. He loved him. But he also knew that something
was holding the man back. His possessions were the reason
for his life. All his life he had worked hard to have a lot, or,
perhaps, he had been born into a wealthy family and had
been falsely taught that the family’s wealth would guarantee
his happiness. The man thought that he was on the top of
society. Then he received a shock. True greatness was being
offered to him. Was he willing to change the focus of his life?
Was he willing to step away from his material possessions?
Evidently not. He left the Lord saddened.
We have been raised in a society that values wealth above
all else. We know that is not true. We know that the love of
our families, our children, and through them, our Lord, are
our real values, but we easily fall for the lie that happiness
can be purchased. We easily confuse our wants with our
needs. We want too much. We need very little. We want the
big house, the expensive car, the boat, etc… But we don't
need all of that. I am not just speaking to you. I am speaking
to myself. I just bought a new car. I didn’t really need one,
but I wanted a larger one. The question I have to ask myself,
though, would be, if the new car gets damaged, or stolen,
would I be terribly upset? Probably, and that would be
reasonable. But would I be destroyed? I certainly hope not.
If the loss of a material thing has an effect upon my basic
attitude to life, then the desire for the material has taken
priority over the real need of my life. All I need is the Love of
God. And it is there for me in so many ways, none of which
have to do with the quality of the wheels I am driving.
How about you? What is it that would destroy you if you
lost it? Would you be destroyed if your house were destroyed?
Would you wonder if life was worth living? I know most of
you well enough to know that would not be the case. You love
your family far more than your stuff. Your main concern
would be with them. You love your God more than anything
the world can come up with. As long as you have him, you
have all you need.
