Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

Jesus said, "No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and riches." Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were listening to all these things, and they were scoffing at Him And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God." ( Luke 16:13-15)

"Oh, this part allows me to hate people? Well, sign me up. This part allows me to have selfish wishes come true? I'm in."

"But wait, this part here says I have to live outside of my comfort zone. We shouldn't take this literally."

We know you love the lord within your heart and are simply afraid to let your true feelings show. Its okay. God loves you as he died for your sins. He wants you to proclaim your ever dying love for him. Its okay. Jesus will be with you both in and out of the closet friend.

And btw, God loves Nokia and Windows phones too. He told me so just the other day!

Ohhhh ye of cropped biblical clippings let's put the whole thing down shall we?

17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’[d]”

20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”

21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

22 At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”

24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is[e] to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

26 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”

27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

28 Then Peter spoke up, “We have left everything to follow you!”

29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

Now the LESSON in all of this was NOT to sell everything....you know what nvm.

Pearls and swine and such.

TO ME and my ever growing understanding of God...

This passage was to highlight that while shyt might look impossible to MAN, through God all is possible. You might not understand HOW

What's funny is even his disciples were shook saying, "well then who can be saved?" Jesus gave them the answer, NO ONE can be saved except through God.

There's also some other stuff in there as well.
