Hold Stuff Loosely!

O God, I am ashamed how much my life has centered on earthly treasures, which are frequently hoarded, insured, worried over, or hidden for safekeeping.

What I really want from You in this season is to remember the riches I have in You—riches that can never be lost, stolen, or damaged.

As I freely share with others, help me gain more of Yourself, for the sake of Your Kingdom and Your righteousness. Amen and Amen.
