Greed

I've never really thought of myself as greedy - until I heard a pastor use this definition of greed -

Greed: Wanting more of that which you already have enough.

Do I ever want more food?
Do I already have enough food?
Do I ever want more clothes?
Do I already have enough clothes?
Do I ever want more money?
Do I already have enough money?
Do I ever want a bigger house/nicer things/etc.?
Do I already have ENOUGH?

This is convicting to think about - especially in this season - which is ironic considering the true meaning of the Christmas season. My heart is sad as I'm anticipating Black Friday - working retail, I'm scared of what I will see - I think it will be sad. I am reminded though - that I am no better than those "greedy" shoppers.

Lord, sanctify me. Let me be satisfied with little - with enough.
