Do Not Be Attached To Material Things


When it comes to people, let’s be attached but not too much. But when it comes to things, do not be attached at all.
Luke 12:15 “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.
If the Lord gives us nice possessions, let us enjoy them. But if they are gone, let us not chase them. Kung nandyan, salamat. Kung wala, salamat din.
1 Timothy 6:9,10 People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Kung may pera tayo, salamat. Yuyuko tayo nang konti at magtatrabaho para magkaroon tayo nyan. Pero hindi tayo lumalampas sa mga hangganan na itinakda ng Diyos para lang magkaroon. Hindi tayo nakikipagsira sa ating mga kapatid, hindi tayo nakikipag-away sa ating magulang at sa ating esposo’t esposa dahil lang sa material things.  If we begin to love the things that give us comfort, we will become their slave. Hindi dapat kasanayan. That’s why it is important to learn to be contented. This does not mean learning to be dreamless or goal-less but learn to be contented. When you do your best with what God allows, then enjoy the fruits or your labor.

Sabi nga ni Paul,
Philippians 4:11, 13
I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.

Ang lahat ay nagagawa sa tulong ng Diyos. Ang lahat ng kulang ay nalalampasan at napupunan; ang lahat ng hina ay napapalakas sapagkat may Diyos tayo sa ating puso.
