When ever I feel the need to justify my money or possessions, I am proving
they are no longer my tools, my slaves
rather I am a slave
to possessing
or
to the perception of being one-who-possesses-much
And I must wonder,
"Can I even imagine myself simply possessing the tools of money and possessions?
Can I imagine buying only that which is to be consumed and not displayed?"

I think this is the essence of being rightly oriented to our possessions. It can either be a means for loving God and our neighbor or a demonstration of our idols and self-centeredness. Either way, I think it does reveal our loves.
