What is the purpose of minimalism?
I am a bit of a minimalist. It’a a little difficult to keep up. Especially with children and now with homeschooling.
Usually when discussing minimalism, the benefits are the main part focus. Benefits to minimalism include, spending less money, less stuff to clean, less stress and more. But what is the purpose?
It wasn’t until I was reading the Little Pilgrim’s Big Journey, that I understood the purpose of living with less.
When Christian is traveling with his friend Faithful through Vanity Fair, they learn that all this beautiful gimmicks and trends are meant to district you and in their case, keep them from going to the Celestial City.
In other words, the purpose of minimalism is to keep our hearts focused on the Lord. Without that purpose in mind, minimalism is empty.
