Own ways, own words, own pleasures

are so difficult to give up (Isaiah 58:13).

The list could go on: own achievements,

 own ideas, own religion, own problems, 

own strength, own house, own life...

Even in his relationship with God man is trying

to possess him and fence him so that others could

not steal him.

When visiting Jeddah I was invited to visit Eve's grave.

Yes, they claim to possess the oldest sight in the world,

the grave of Eve, the mother of the mankind.

After walking in the guards asked me about my religion.

I told them that I'm a Christian and they kicked me out.

It was hilarious.

In tribal wars men were stealing

one another's idols. It's such a ridiculous thought

to think that somebody could steal your god.

A self-centered life is one of the greatest enemies

of a living faith.

Jesus said to the young, rich, ruler,

"Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor,

 and you will have treasure in heaven; and come,

follow me."

The man became very sorrowful,

 "for he was very rich."

He went away, rich, but sad.

Luke 18:22-23
