There are so many people out in this world that are only out to make a dollar. All they care about is money, how much they have, how much you have, how much they can make, how to spend it. They look at others and see what they have and decide they must have the same thing, no matter what. They will work themselves into credit card balances of well over the means of what they can afford and then wonder how they will pay it back. They will spend every dollar they have in their pocket to buy the bigger house, the better car, the best of the best, the brand name this and that.
I ask you: What is the point?
They spend money because they are empty inside. They have a need to fill up their life with "stuff" so they can meet the need to feel better about themselves, be looked at as sucessful or wealthy. But how truly wealthy are they?
I live in a 1630 sq. ft. condo. I love it here and it is just the perfect size for the three Frye's. We don't have a fancy car. We don't have expensive furniture or brand name things or the newest latest greatest tech equipment.
But you know what I do have? A full life, a full heart and a life with Jesus. He is all I need in this world to be happy. I don't have to worry about what others think about me, because I know Jesus thinks I am pretty special. I don't need to worry about what others think about my clothes or my car or my home, because Jesus is my center focus, not "stuff". All these other things don't matter.
I hate to see people that worry about image and what others think of them. They are the most unhappy people and they fail to see that what they have, is not what they want, they yearn for more but don't know what it is they yearn for. IT'S JESUS people!!!!! He wants to love you, He wants to hold you and give you the things you need in this world!
Don't be money hungry....be Jesus filled!
