Filling Space

People tend not to like space that is empty. May it be in their home, their cars, or with in the. We tend to try and fill that empty space with things majority of the time. Is it because we are trying to impress others with our fancy objects? These things are only materialistic and will not last. ¹⁹"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal." (Matthew 6:19). We'll tend to do this a lot when we buy a new house or a larger apartment. There is a lot of empty space so we try and fill it. A new sofa and new bigger TV to watch from the new sofa. But in reality do we really need all these new things. How will all these things really benefit us? Sure we need the necessities but what do we really benefit from the luxury items. Instead of filling our lifes with meaningless things we should try and spend time with those people that matter in our lives, building strong relationships that will last a life time. We should also strive to constantly to grow in knowledge. When we buy items to fill empty space, we are also taking away from time and we are also taking away from future money that can grow.
