We will always fill ourselves with something, so what are we filling ourselves with?

Here are some questions we asked during our last Soulwell:

Do I find my worth in what I consume?

Do I continually need food, coffee, drugs, or alcohol to feel “alive?”
Do I become preoccupied with owning the latest fashion in clothes, the best electronics money can buy, or the latest iPod, cell phone, or other “gadget?”

Do I find my worth in what I work for?

Do I work hard for money, just so that I can have more?
Do I strive to achieve my “place” in society by owning the “right” car, buying the “right” house, or living in luxury?

Do I find my worth in the people around me?

Do my friends, family, boyfriend/girlfriend, spouse, children, or parents define who I am, and who I’m supposed to be?
Do I feel better about myself because I’m popular, I’m the “best” at what I do, or I have the right “look,” the right body?

Do I find my worth in what I do?

Do I feel the need to be constantly doing something, talking with someone else, or surrounding myself with music, television, or other “noise?”
Do I constantly check for emails, text messages, or Facebook/MySpace messages, basing my value as a person on how many I get each day?

Do I find my worth in serving God?

Do I define myself by my ministries at church, by serving others, or by being the “model” Christian?
Do I rely on myself to minister to others, not trusting God to do His work with or without me?
