[b]Nothing[/b]Those who have nothingHave nothing to lose.Those who hold looselyAre blessed just to use.When nothing is ownedThere's no cost to maintain.If something is lostThere's no sense of pain.What a blessing it isTo count all things as loss,In exchange for salvationPaid for on the cross.Lord help me to seeThis world's passing away,Consumed in a fire,Just like stubble and hay.It has nothing to offerThat should catch my eye,Save only distractionsTo which I must die.You've called me your friendAnd said what's yours is mine.But there's nothing I want,Except Your life for mine. - Drew

Thanks for this reminder! It's hard sometimes to explain to our children how things take on a power of themselves if we don't intentionally let loose of them. We are to be funnels that God's blessings flow through. Lord make this a reality in my life! Thanks again!Barry

Hi Barry, Christmas greetings :-) You have touched on a matter close to my heart, that I call 'channels only' theology.
We are to be funnels that God's blessings flow through.
Bro Kire directed me to this sermon , and it would do us good to hear thisThe Beauty of Nothing by Richard Wurmbrandhttps://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=4529
