“You lack one thing; go, sell what you own…”
—Mark 10.21
What you lack is lack.
You have so much, you don’t need eternal life,
don’t need God.
To receive eternal life you have to be empty enough.
You have to sell everything, give it all away.
You have to live in radical trust.
Sometimes trust is deepest when it’s all there is.
Be mindful of what you cling to,
and what you would gladly spend to find blessing,
what you would drop to be free.
And drop it.
Practice trust and generosity.
Practice letting go and giving away.
When you’ve given away what you can,
what you’re left with is what can’t be taken from you:
infinite life.
