Does any thing keep you from being yourself? 

Morning: Psalm 106:1-18; Zechariah 10:1-12; Galatians 6:1-10

Evening: Psalm 106:19-48; Joel 3:1-2, 9-17; Luke 18:15-30

Everyone’s needs are different. Jesus thinks we all have one common need: to see the world as a child does ... open, full of wonder, absorbing and embracing new experiences, welcoming each moment. You know the qualities of a child. But what about your particular needs? ... Jesus told the ruler that if he wanted to become himself, he must sell everything and give the money to the poor. This ruler was so attached to his possessions that his possessions owned him. I think Jesus is asking us: Does anything (any thing) keep you from being yourself?
