So why do we care so much about money? why do we care so much about what we have or don't have? why do we care so much about how we look? or how we dress?
Do those things matter after you die? If you're rich here on earth, will you be able to take it with you after you die?
From what I've seen, people who chase after money (not all, but most of them) are mean and rude. They are never happy. Why? because money cannot buy you everything (so cliche, but true).
We are on earth for just a while. and then we die.
We will only be remembered for a while afterwards (mostly only by our family & friends).
The way we dressed, the way we looked, the money we had or didn't have will not matter. Nobody will remember any of it. All they'll remember is how you've changed or affected their lives.
So instead of working toward making lots of money.. I've decided to dedicate my little time on earth here to bringing others to Christ. I don't know how, I lack social skills, I'm horrible at public speaking, I can't seem to look at others straight in the eye, and I'm not sure where to start, but it was the same with Moses and look what he was able to accomplish. It won't be easy, but it would be selfish of me to not tell others about His grace.
In the end, living happily and knowing that you're going be joining God in Heaven is all that should matter.
I don't know if you'll ever see this... but I just wanted to say, maybe this blog is a way to reach out... I for one am SO glad that I've come across it!!
ReplyDeleteI've been interested in teaching in Korea for a couple of years now. I'll have a BA this January. I'm a Christian-- and I'm so glad to have found your blog. I'm really interested in your life as a Christian in Korea... I just started reading from the beginning so I haven't gotten to your more recent posts, but I wonder what it is like for you... do you go to church or do you just have personal devotions? Do you meet with any other Christians?
Thanks so much for your blog!
