Our consumer driven economy strives to make us think we never have enough. Marketing strategies make aggressive claims that we need a product or service and we deserve it. The American way of life includes creating an image and impression of who we would like to be, building a platform to enhance the impression. But I’m thinking that following Christ involves a different mindset, based on today’s verses. Instead of a self driven focus, our priority is our Father’s love, building hope and faith in the unseen reality.
“Because wholeness and meaning in life are not the products of what you have or don’t have, what you’ve done or haven’t done. You are already a whole person and possess a life of infinite meaning and purpose because of who you are—a child of God.” - Neil T. Anderson, Victory Over the Darkness
