Release What You Do Not Need

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!—2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)

Summer is starting to come to an end. Often when we enter into the end of something, we reflect on our own mortality. When you leave this Earth, you will let go of your material possessions. Ask yourself, am I holding on to my belongings too tightly? Now is a good time to focus on your faith and loosen your grip on things of this world.

All-Knowing Father, thank You for the reminder that material things, are just that—things—and that my spirit and my spiritual life are most important.
