Matthew 6:20 (Detachment)
Matthew 6:20
What can we learn about detachment from Matthew 6:20 and the global pandemic?
Detachment
Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust consumes
and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Matthew 6:20
The coronavirus pandemic created a situation where we learned to let go. We found that we had to manage without some of the material things and activities we thought we needed. The unexpected benefit was that we had more room for God in our hearts. (November 4, 2020)
