"This in essence, is the message we heard from Christ and are passing on to you: God is light, pure light; there's not a trace of darkness in Him." --1 John 1:5 (The Message)
My devotion came from Timothy Keller's sermon "Treasure vs Money."
Key quotes: "It doesn't matter how much light is in a room, if your eyes can't see, you won't be able to see the light."
"The best way to see that money has no power over you: first, love rich people. Secondly, respect poor people, that you look at them and you respect them, you expect to learn from them, and you don't look down your nose at them."
"Everything that says 'Die for me' is a greedy treasure. Jesus is the only treasure that died for us."
Lord God, help me, like Thomas, not to be shy in asking the questions on my mind and heart, not to be afraid of expressing honest doubt, not to be lax in searching for answers, and not to withhold my commitment to your son as Lord and God. (Disciplines Daily Devotional)
