Keep our eyes on Jesus, off of ourselves- We complicate Christianity, we simply need to follow Him, I cannot do it, but I'll read and follow- Jesus told rich man to sell everything and follow-about idolatry, wrapped up in possessions- We must believe that Jesus is worth more than what we have to give up, He should be the treasure of our heart
