The Final Commandment

Tenth commandment! It's fairly simple, yet I find it is the hardest one to remember. God tells us "Thou shalt not covet". Do not want material objects. This one is the toughest one for me, but I remember I can only want one thing: Jesus Christ's love. So what are your earthly wants? Give them up! You don't need them! One of my best examples is my want for food. I'm from the Midwest, and here, we eat. But this spring, I participated in World Vision's 30 Hour Famine (if you don't know what it is, look it up online and suggest it to your youth pastor!) I raised over $180 for the hungry around the world and didn't eat for 30 hours. Hard? Heck yeah! But through prayer and busying myself with witnessing around town and helping the less fortunate by handing out food, I realized something. The Lord and His Son are the only thing I need to fill me. I did not feel very hungry during the 30 hours (although the food I ate to break my fast was some of the best food I have ever eaten (: ) I do not need an earthly thing to fill me, I only need the Lord to sustain me! You're probably thinking, well I need to eat to survive, and yes, this is true. But you do not need objects and frivolous things to make your life full. It is full with the love of Jesus Christ.

Alright everyone, I really need new ideas to write about! What do you want to hear about? Do you have a testimony you want to share with the world? Do you need a prayer? Send them all in to me at missionfaithblog@gmail.com ! Can't wait to hear from you! God bless you!
