Stuff

Then she said, "I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, for you have comforted me and spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not one of your servants."
Ruth 2:13 (ESV)

Those who enjoy much do not have much so they can be self-indulgent. All good things come from God, and we receive them in order to use them, not in order to love them.

Many times we get things reversed, and we love what we should be using, and use what we should be loving. It is a terrible, terrible thing when that happens.

We have our interiors wired to love, and we can be most genuine or most perverted in that area. When anyone loves things that cannot love them back, they have opened the door to all kinds of troubles.

Jesus made it very clear in the Scriptures that no one can have two masters. In fact, you will love only one and actually hate the other. If we love "stuff," then those we love become a burden or bother to us, for they are keeping us from our "stuff."

Boaz had stuff, but loved people, and because of that all will turn out quite well
