Okay

God didn't promise rose gardens;
Big Book promises speak not
of vanishing economic insecurity.
Instead, it's fear —
of people and of economic insecurity —
that will leave us. Hoarding possessions,
seeking riches, playing to win
as though having most means victory...
The rule books controvert.
Don't grab at the material but store treasure
beyond thieves' reach. Sell your riches,
young ruler, and set your sights above.
If sober father never has much money again
his family will admire what he tries to be,
not get. With Paul we can be content
in any state, in ​this​ state.
It's none of my business what I own,
what I weigh, what people think.
When I surrender, show up, and do God's will
I'll be okay — I'll thrive!
