dream to go 9 - objects of my affection

“What would I buy if I won a million pounds?”

Give yourself a break for five minutes and have a go. Go on… what would you buy? Make yourself a list. Try to make it honest. What do you think you’d really do?

-pay off the mortgage?
-a round the world trip?
-a party to end all parties?
-give loads away?
-leave your job?
-invest it and live on the interest?


Once you’ve written your list…

…and only then…

…..c’mon, stop reading now and go back and do it!

OK, now take some time to reflect on your list.

-What does it tell you about yourself?

-What priorities does it show?

-Does it reflect the things and people you care about?

We spend money on the stuff we love. That’s pretty obvious. But Jesus also said that we’ll love the stuff we spend money on.

“Wherever your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

That’s kind of scary, but also kind of cool.

Where do you want your heart to be? Put your ‘treasure’ there.

Where you spend, save and give, that’s where your heart will be also.

So… Where’s your heart?
Where do you want your heart to be?

What really matters to you?
What do you want to really matter to you?

What do you care about?
What do you want to care about?

“Wherever your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Happy Christmas shopping.
