I’ve heard this time and time again.  And it’s been said in many different ways.

No. 1, God doesn’t want your stuff, nor my stuff.
He can’t even wear it,  put it on, or drive it.

No. 2, God doesn’t need your stuff.
We live life thinking He wants our stuff because He needs them.  No!
What does the Psalm 24 tell us?

“The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. The world and all who live in it.”

He doesn’t need our stuff because He owns everything and everything we have came from him anyway.

So what does God want?

You really want to know?

It’s not your stuff He wants…

He wants our hearts.  Why?

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:21)
