Matthew 6:19-21

Matthew 6:19-21

“19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 21 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 22 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

The most awesome thing about life is that at the end of the day, what happens to you here on earth doesn’t matter, and what you do here does. Your hearse won’t have a U-Haul, and all the possessions accumulated become equally distributed without any fighting over who gets what, but they don’t go with you.
So what are the treasures that get stored? The fruits of praise and works. Accepting Christ as your savior opens your account and is the ticket in, praise and works are the deposits in your account. The more you do here, the more there is for you there.
What you do here matters.

I Love The Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the blessings He has poured into my life. I pray that I live a life that glorifies Him in all I do, but I fail every day, many, many, many times. I have come here through brokenness, a trail of pain and broken promises that I've created through my self centeredness, self will and arrogance. For those I've hurt, please forgive me for what I did. Those things that I remember I am truly sorry I did them. I wish I could undo them. I can't. I use these lessons as motivation to be a builder, to take those experiences and hopefully keep someone else out of their own similar experiences. I love my wife, my children, my family, my friends, my strangers, and those the world would like to dismiss as an unfortunate error messing up worldly perfection. I get frustrated with all of the above too, for I am broken, not like God. Lord, give me your wisdom, your patience, and knowledge of your will for me and the strength to carry that out in all I do. I believe we have work to do while we are here and need to be actively engaged in allowing God to work through us. A Christian is someone who does what The Father, Son and Holy Spirit calls them to do, a builder not a taker, a conduit not a pinnacle, humble and serving. Micah 6:8 Matthew 25:31-46
