All those things we want

You know all of those things that we want and we say that we HAVE to have to be happy? Well, I was thinking about this the other day and I came to the conclusion that we only want those because other people have them and to use them as excuses. Excuses such as: "I feel bad because I feel left out because I don't have that phone". When really you have just use that phone as an excuse for your bad mood. Why are you in a bad mood? Because we have put worldly things before God.
We can't trust our feelings and we can't let them manipulate what we do, say, and how we act. When we do that we make excuses that have nothing to do with te real problem. We can't put things before God. Nothing should distract us from our point in life of glorifying God.
