MONEY CAN’T BUY ME LOVE---PART II

A favorite move of mine

Was a movie called,

“CAN’T BUY ME LOVE”

With a young Patrick Dempsey

It was about

A nerdy high school boy

Paying the most popular girl

In school-to be his girlfriend

So he can become popular

She became

His paid for girlfriend

He becomes popular

And turns into a complete jerk

And she winds up

Despising him

And turns the whole school

Against him

MONEY CAN’T BUY ME LOVE

In life

If we are good-looking

We can buy fame

We can

Even buy sex

But we CAN’T BUY

True love

We can’t buy

True affection

And that

Is what is so great

About our God

We don’t have to

HE MADE US

He loves us

He KNOWS every strength

And every weakness

That we have

He knows

EVERY flaw

In your character

And yet

HE LOVES YOU ANYWAY

Money can’t

BUY ME LOVE

And it

Doesn’t have to

God loves you

FOR WHO YOU ARE

But what do you LOVE MORE

Is it God

Or is it money

“For where your treasure is

There your heart

Will also be”                                                                          Matthew 6:21

“NO ONE can serve two masters

Either he will hate the one

And love the other

Or he will be devoted

To the one

And despise the other

YOU CANNOT SERVE

BOTH GOD AND MONEY”                                                   Matthew 6:24

Where does your treasure lie?

Which master do you serve?

Don’t get me wrong

Having money

Is NOT a sin

We all need money

To live

But the love of money

Putting money above people

Above God-Above family-IS

“For the LOVE OF MONEY

Is a ROOT of all kinds of evil

Some people-eager for money

Have wandered from the faith

And pierced themselves with many griefs”                                            1 Timothy 6:10

“MONEY CAN’T BUY ME LOVE”

For the record

In the movie-“CAN’T BUY ME LOVE”

The young man

Figures out

What a fool he has been

And the MOST popular girl in school

Actually does FALL IN LOVE with him

Fame and fortune

Can never buy real love

But sincerity-honesty-loyalty-and goodness

Being genuine

Being real

Being kind-CAN

And these things

Are qualities of LOVE

And ALL these things

Are qualities of GOD

“No one has ever seen God

But if we can love one another

God LIVES in us

And his love

Is made COMPLETE in us”                                                                1 John 4:12

GOD IS REAL

SO IS LOVE
