The best place to put everything you have - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.”

Matthew 6:19-20

Many years ago when Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham, was a preschooler, his daddy gave him a dollar. So Franklin gave it back to his dad and said, “Daddy, keep this dollar for me please.” And then he ran off.

About 10 minutes later, little Franklin came back and asked for his dollar again. So Billy Graham gave it back to him. And then, about 30 minutes later, Franklin came back again crying and said, “Daddy, I lost my dollar. Can you help me find it?”

That’s the problem for many people, isn’t it? They very often give things to their heavenly Father for His protection and care, and then they rush to get it again because they’re not really sure if they can really trust Him. But whether it be our possessions, our kids, or whatever, there’s no better place for anyone or anything than in the hands of God.

My prayer is that each day, I would run to God with everything I have and say, “Lord, it’s all yours.” I don’t ever want to hold onto things out of fear, but to give everything to God in trust. Make that your goal today!

PUT EVERYTHING YOU HAVE INTO GOD’S HANDS AND TRUST IN HIM TO CARE FOR YOUR THINGS BETTER THAN YOU EVER COULD!

Had two thoughts, put it wherever it will fit and you can close the door on it. That is how I lived my life, if I couldn't see it, it wasn't there.

Line it up in a row, and take first things first. Don't get overwhelmed, one step at a time, you will see your way through it. When I think of this, it bring up a memory of a guy I met in AA. He use to line up his pills all in a row, and take them one at a time. I was astonished, I took my pills all at once. It doesn't really matter what way you take them, it is what you take and how often you take them.

What I try to do is make my space safe for anything or anyone who comes into my life. I put them all in my God's Hands and give thanks.
