giving or selling your possessions?

Okay, so this has been repetitive but it seems to be what I am supposed to talk about for some reason.  I'll figure it out.  Anyway, have you seen Oprah or Bill Gates or Donald Trump give away all their earnings, ever?  I don't think so.  I wouldn't want to.  I have sold a few of my things in order to have a more Christ-centered life.  But, just imagine one of these people deciding that whatever they have they are just going to sell or give it ALL away?  You have a big imagination.  Most people would think that they are completely nuts and insane.  But, what would your response be if they said, "Because God told me to."  With my dvd collection alone, I have had so many people question whether or not that is a good move at all.  Well, I can say this.  It is not their decisions, or MINE.  It was God's and I have to listen to Him.  Sorry but I don't want the wrath of God.  One way to tell if a person is truly in love with God and if that person truly wants to please God to their core is what they do with their life.  Giving and selling possessions is just a part of it.  However, this is one way to measure a person's belief and trust in God is if they are willing to part with everything they own in order to give glory to God.  I say that is one strong human being.  Is there something in your life that you need to part with because it is hindering your relationship with God?  Just pray about it.  He will tell you what to do.
