after the holidays, i started thinking, and i decided it’s selfish of me to sell my things.
though it’s true that i sold a limited amount of things i no longer wanted (and gave away everything else), i decided it’s still not right for a woman named missy to be pregnant and engaged, and homeless - cold and out living on the streets just one town away from me. this past week i’ve spent every day either going out to feed the homeless people and hanging out with them with kevin & fbtc, or reading my bible and doing a lot of self-reflection. i cleaned out my entire room and gave away pretty much everything i don’t need, and i’ve made it my mission to be a better person. i don’t think i’m a particularly bad person, but i’ve only recently realized that an “okay” person just isn’t good enough. Jesus says that “a good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit,” but what if a tree isn’t producing any fruit at all? is it a good tree or a bad tree? that’s why i’ve decided to give things away instead of sell things. i’ve also decided to give at least one thing away each day, whether that be time, money, or a material object. i’ve decided every time i buy something for myself, i need to buy something for or donate money to someone else. i’ve made several other resolutions in hopes of truly being on fire for God, and on fire for everyone around me. it’s time for me to start producing some really good fruit.
