“Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.”
Do you also struggle with “wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important“? Don’t despair, you are not alone. Recognizing that one must work on this weakness in oneself is most likely the early steps toward working on becoming less attached to the usual popular things in our culture, and to intentionally seeking the kingdom of God on this earth — by finding ways and means to show God’s love in all you do every day.
