challenge from Hebrews

for you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. // hebrews 10:34

this verse struck me as i read hebrews 10 today. how much value i put in my material possessions, & how much i cling to them. this verse was convicting, it helped me think of holding onto my possessions not as tightly but loosely. especially since they are only rubbish compared to what is to come in heaven. Lord, help me remember this, help me live out what Your word says 'since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.' thank You for making Your ways in this world upside-down & for calling Your children to live this way. though it can be challenging it is oh so sweet, true & beautiful.
