       Besides, all these things purchased and revered, what do they amount to? What I mean is that often the great feeling we get when we buy something shiny and flashy is gone in a month or two. We believe in obtaining this item, whatever it is, that it will bring some fulfillment to our lives. We thought, “Once I get this thing then I will be truly happy, completely satisfied, and utterly content.” But what happens? Unfortunately, our flesh lied to us. It told us those things, but we have come to find death after the newness has worn off. Now, this isn’t the case for everybody. Again, it all comes back to one’s perspective, one’s heart attitude. Some people buy things, and after buying them, find they do actually add to their lives and they are indeed content. However, with a lot of things it seems to be the opposite. Disillusionment occurs with these flashy, new possessions because of the false idea we had about them to begin with. We all know, deep down, that there is only one person who fulfills, one things that makes us truly happy. That’s God.
