Your Stuff

Christians should enjoy stuff more than anyone else in the world, because Jesus shows us the heart of the One who made it all. At the same time, we should distrust stuff more than anyone else, because Jesus showed us what our hearts are capable of doing with it. We enjoy stuff by receiving it as an undeserved gift from the God who made it and by sharing it with others who don’t deserve it, either. We distrust stuff by remembering that it will always fail us and deceive us and divide us in this world, but it will last forever in the next one, so we can work actively either to do without it or give it away now.
