MADE YOU THINK (UPDATED)

I BELIEVE THAT WE HUMAN BEINGS

FOCUS TOO MUCH ON MATERIAL THINGS.

THESE THINGS WON'T LAST,

AND WE CERTAINLY CAN'T

TAKE THEM WITH US,

AND THEY WILL SOON TURN TO DUST.

SO WHAT'S THE RUSH

TO COLLECT THINGS

THAT HAVE A TENDENCY TO RUST AND CORRODE

AND EVENTUALLY BECOME USELESS AND OLD?

I KNOW THAT SOCIETY

HAS A WAY OF MAKING US THINK

THAT WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT

THIS OR THAT

OR THAT WE AREN'T BEING VERY GOOD

IF WE DON'T BUY OUR SPOUSES SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL,

LIKE A DIAMOND RING OR A BRAND SPAKIN' NEW CAR.

SURE, WE WILL DERIVE PLEASURE IN THE BEGINNING,

BUT WHAT HAPPENS DOWN THE ROAD,

WHEN WE GET A LITTLE OLD?

I GUESS MAYBE WE COULD JUST WATCH

OUR BEAUTIFUL THINGS FROM AFAR,

BUT WHAT'S REALLY THE USE OF THAT

WHEN ALL WE SHOULD WANT TO DO
IS DWELL IN GOD'S PRESENCE ALL DAY?
LET HIM POUR YOUR SPIRIT ALL OVER YOU.
IT WILL CHANGE YOU.
IT CHANGED ME.

MADE YOU THINK.

JOHN 18:36

JESUS SAID, "MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD."
