Heaven Knows Your Heart
by Max Lucado

All that stuff you have? It’s not yours. And you know what else about all that stuff? It’s not you! In Luke 12:15 Jesus said, “Life is not defined by what you have, even when you have a lot.”

Heaven doesn’t know you as the fellow with the nice suit or the woman with the big house. Heaven knows your heart. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Bible says the Lord looks at the heart. When God thinks of you, He may see your compassion, your devotion, your tenderness or quick mind, but He doesn’t think of your things.

Define yourself by your stuff, and you’ll feel good when you have a lot and bad when you don’t. Contentment comes when we can honestly say with Paul who said, “I know how to live when I am poor, and I know how to live when I have plenty” (Philippians 4:12).
