Those who use the things of this world should not become attached to them. For this world as we know it will soon pass away. -1 Corinthians 7:31 (NLT)
UNATTACHED TO THIS WORLD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you finding it hard to let go of things?
Do you desire what the world is offering?
Those who use the things of this world
Make sure that you are tuned in to God’s word.
Our life is fleeting and will soon pass away
Do not let the enemy tempt you or sway
Be unattached to anything that will corrupt you
Seek God’s word and renew your mind to stay pure.

Have you ever clung to something in your life so bad that it pains you to even let it go for a minute? I was a solo parent for many years and would always worry for my son and want to ensure that all his needs were met and that he will be the best in anything he wanted to be. Because of the lack of a father around him, I did my best to compensate for that absent parent which made me enslaved to performance. I wanted to be the best in all the roles I played in life. It became an obsession to be at the top of anything I did. The bible warns us how fleeting life is and how we should be unattached to this world.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to be unattached to the world.
REFLECTION
What things can you not let go in life?
