Years ago, I read a quote by Jim Elliot that stuck with me. it said: He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose. This is so true! Everything we seem to have now, will someday be lost. Our cars, money, lands, houses, and even our very existence will one day disappear. The only thing we have that will last forever is what we have deposited in eternity. So what really matters in life? It is our treasures in heaven. The context of our opening verse was Jesus emphasizing using our money to serve God. However, that’s not the only way to lay up treasures in heaven. How do you lay up treasures in heaven? By your giving, your devotion to God and your service to his kingdom. Can I tell you something? Please don’t live an empty life!
Have eternal value. Say after me: I will lay up treasures in heaven.
