What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

View all responses

Having a lot of stuff is a distraction. It can distract you from making and improving friendships. It can cause you to forget about helping other people. It can make you ignore your personal and spiritual growth. Jesus Christ put it this way: “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” (Mark 8:36)

Dare to set aside your distractions. Dare to boldly search for, courageously rely on, and daily depend on the living resurrected Jesus Christ.

If the only place
That you look for God
Is while you’re in church
You need to broaden
And extend your search.
God doesn’t live in
A chapel or church.
He lives inside of
Humble, hungry hearts.
God wants you to be
His holy temple.
(Acts 7:48-49 &
1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

Go beyond both the distraction of wealth and the distraction of church.
