Anyone knows a way to escape from Materialism? at 10:21 PM
Hi everyone :D
Its been an incredibly busy week with lots of work and staying up in the night to get work done but I survived and I came out stronger and for that I'm so thankful.
Thank you Jesus for guiding me through.
I've been slightly upset, because I'm starting to realise that I'm becoming more and more materialistic day by day and thats just awful because there was once, when I wasnt that way at all.
Like how I chose the Emporio Armani and Lulu Guiness spectacles, how my eyes zoomed in onto my new teacher's Coach bag and Armani watch and all that.
I don't want to be like that.
But judging from how natural it was for me to lock onto all the designer goods it seems as though I already am that way.
Even Zara and Mango won't do it for me now. Its all too streamlined, too commercial and available.
I stopped flipping through Seventeen cause all they ever have in there are clothes from bloody Far East Plaza and I hate that place.
I started doing Female and ogling at the Prada bags.
Anyone seen the latest Helmut Lang collection?
Jesus please make me less materialistic.
You created me to be non judgmental but thats exactly what I turned into.
I repent and thank you for your grace. I accept your forgiveness into my life and thank you because you gave me what I didn't deserve. I love you Jesus.
Place in me humility and take away all the temptation I have to spend money freely.
I thank you for the money but help me to treasure every bit of what I have
and use it to bless the people around me.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray,
Amen.
