[:en]THE BEST PORTION OF ALL
If we focus on other’s possessions, jealousy often results. God’s Word can lift our eyes to something of greater worth than earthly possessions. The psalmist wrote: “You are my portion, Lord; I have promised to obey your words. I have sought your face with all my heart” (Ps. 119:57) The writer was telling us that to him, nothing matters more than closeness to God.
Our loving God is a limitless creator. Nothing on earth can compare with Him and nothing take Him away from us. Human beings are longing to have “everything” in the world and still remain misrable. But when God is our source of happiness, we learn how to be contented. God alone can fill our hearts with peace and joy. – (Augustine of Hippo)
