Let's be cautious about relying so much on material things that we have no energy left for the spiritual aspects of our lives.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We can no more do without spirituality than we can do without food, shelter, or clothing.
The great question of our time is, 'Will we be motivated by materialistic philosophy or by spiritual power?'
We need to become energy independent or at least aspire to that.
We should never let material things get ahead of God or become so important in our lives that we can't walk away from them if He tells us to. Anything you own that has a hold on you is a problem.
If we're interested in spiritual things, we gradually realize that what we really need is to understand this nature that seems to be a bottomless basket, because there is no peace in it.
There are incalculable resources in the human spirit, once it has been set free.
It seems that every time mankind is given a lot of energy, we go out and wreck something with it.
My life is extremely full and wretchedly busy, and I feel that while my life drains energy from my work, my work in turn drains energy from my life. The result is, I am always playing catch-up spiritually. That is my thorn.
We only have a certain amount of energy for each day. If we use it for the wrong purpose, if we focus on the negative or dwell on whoever hurt us, then we're not going to have the energy we need for the right purposes.
We are material beings for but a moment in time, but we are spiritual beings forever.
