What is worse than never having what you want?

The answer to that is “always having what you want.” Nothing ruins a person more than always having their own way and owning tons of gadgets and living in luxury.  This life is not about gaining more and more. As the bible says “A man’s worth does not consist in the number of things he owns.” In the last few years young people have flooded into Britain to follow their dream of wealth, health and happiness, but what has this done to their homelands.  Doesn’t the place of their birth need their talents there to build up their own country.  I met a young man from Hungary in the week.  He was in a phone shop where I bought a cover for my new phone (yes I am tempted by gadgets too.)  He was a smart young man and very pleasant, but what is the effect on Hungary of the loss of people like this to his homeland. What I am really trying to say is that all that chasing after wealth and a “good” time is not what life is about.  Now is the time to search after God and that can’t be done at the same time as putting wealth as your top priority. God is the One who should hold our attention.  A big problem today is that there are so many “Christian churches” which are blurring what true Christianity is about.  Jesus should hold the central place as He is the only one who can bring us into God’s favour.  Nothing we can do will ever achieve this, as God expects total perfection from each one of us.  That can only be given to us by the sinless Son of God.  Trust Him and follow Him and eternity will be secure and then who cares about the false prosperity the world offers us.
