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
