God vs the world

hey y`all!
today was good. i didnt do much, just sat around, like usual. hopefully ill make plans for tomorrow haha but i havent yet. candace got a blog so i encourage y`all to check it out, theres this video she posted on it that really touched me.
my devotion last night was on not getting too attached to the world. lets see what the bible says, 1 John 2:15-17 says, "Do not love the world or anything in the world. if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not im him. For everything in the world-the cravings of sinful man, the lust opf his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does-come snot from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever." the world has pressures. good & bad. the ones that pressures us to follow God's will are good, but then there are worldy pressures that are not from God and we need to think about God when we feel these pressures and what he would want us to do. we need not to be conformed to this world because it is exactly the opposite of what God wants. we must conform ourselve sto Gods will, Gods path, and Gods Son. someone once said "he who dies with the most toys wins." but i dont agree. thats the worldy view. a Godly person once said, "he who dies with the most toys, still dies." and that is the true statement. who cares how many wordly possesions you have, not God. he cares about what you have spent your life doing for him and his glory.
i love y`all!
God Bless!
