John 10:10 (King James Version) 10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
This abundant life that the scripture speaks on is not so much about a material abundance. This abundant life even exists when tangible things are not on hand. This scripture describe this best:
Luke 12:33 (King James Version) 33Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
True abundance is spiritual not tangible, even though God takes pleasure in the prosperity of His people. One of the true prosperity is your spirtual growth,
Matthew 6:20-22 (King James Version) 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
You see when we get our eyes on the stuff it consumes us and we become in our spirit of the very nature of the things we treasure. You have seen those that are tied up in their cars and houses they are a lifeless as the thing they idolize. Heartless have more retrospect for the stuff then they do people, Don't sit on my couch, take you shoes of in my car, don't touch the windows, don't drink that on my sofa... to the point where they do not consider the feelings of another, Many hearts are a reflection of what they treasure.
Things that are temporal are subject to change that even goes for me in the burgulary, these things are without restraints. They come and they go! Yes I miss my plasma screens and my computer to chat with people like you lol and my jewels and my christmas gifts and all those material things. And I am sure the rest of the household had their favs as well that is irreplacable.
On the other hand as the elect of the Lord a separation has taken place and it demands of us. We can not be like Lots wife and keep looking back to the past, causing it us to hinder our walk with the Lord.
No matter what weapon the Lucifer uses to form against us, greater is He that lives in us than the prince of this world. I mended my children's hearts and told them that God did not want this to happen but He did allow it to happen. He only allowed it to happen because there is something precious that His glory is going to be revealed in it, I told them we are the clay and He is the potter who are we to tell Him what to use to shape that which is His.
Our job only is to cast our cares on Him because He does care for us, I said, 'he showed it by not allowing one hair on our head to be touched!' Even if we did lose a great amount of stuff, from the words of Darwin Hobbs 'HE IS ABLE'
