How much longer till we are content

Greed is evident in every part of our lives and in the world that surrounds us. Money talks in the world and for those who do not know God, that's all they live for. More money, more cars ,more women ,more power and it never seems to satisfy their need for more. For those who do claim to be Christian, we are also guilty of this, me especially. I always want more or even just things that I don't have and during those times of greed I somehow forget that everything that I try so hard to get will just be of no value to me in a few years. When will I be able to realize that everything that I have is from Jesus and he himself is all that I need and he is the only thing that will last for eternity. Contentment frees the heart but my heart is still in shackles.
