Pray this Lazaroo with Holy Spirit perspective:

“…a person…must leave all they own…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:21)

What a sobering reminder, Jesus!

I need to make a cool assessment of the things I’ve accumulated and face it:

None of it goes with me.

Naked I came into this world
Naked of even my flesh I depart.

You expect me to be a good steward of all You’ve placed in my care

without becoming attached to any of it.

Every possession I get to keep
awaits me in heaven.

Wise up, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them…”
(Ecclesiastes 2:18)

I can’t take it with me, Jesus.

Of course, I know that.
But sometimes I don’t act like it.

The more I love the things I’ve acquired

the harder it will be to leave them
when my time on this earth is through.

But knowing they will soon not be mine

might make me regard my treasures

with wiser perspective.
