Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." Matthew 19:21
The more I give, the freer I feel. The less I have, the more blessed I am. I am no longer enslaved to any thing, to any person, or to any place. It is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that this is even possible. What I have learned is less in life is more. Things and money can be a noose around a person's neck. We are taught these things bring a person freedom, but it is actually a lie. For the more we have, the harder we have to work to maintain and/or afford them. This then distracts the children of God from doing work for Him because we are too caught up working for our things. The Lord calls us to "go out and be disciples for man". (Matthew 28:19)How willing would you be to sell your possessions for the name of the Father? If the Lord asked you today to free yourself up to serve Him full time, would you? Could you?
