Who or What Do We Love More?

A man was polishing his new car when his 4 yr old son picked up a small stone and scratched on the side of his car.

In anger, the furious Man took his child’s hand & hit it many times,

MORAL OF THE STORY

“Things are to be used and people are to be loved”.  But the problem in today’s world is that “People are being used and Things are being loved”.

 

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.

For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18
