Words of Wisdom

(Luke 6:45) "The good man out of good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil, for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart."

(Matthew 6: 19-21) "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steel. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where theives do not break in or steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

(Matthew 13: 44,45) "The Kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys the field." "Again, the Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it."

I love those verses. They talk about how we here on earth try to store up treasures for ourselfs, treasures that we can't take with us to heaven. To many times we focus on what we want. We want bigger, better and more stuff, even at times I find myself guilty of that. At times I set here and think why do I need more and more? We are here on earth only for a short time.

So why are we spending what time we have here on earth to collect more stuff, creating false treasures. We should spend what time we do have on earth spreading the gospel to a dieing world, and lifting each other up as brothers and sisters in Christ. Only then are we storing up real treasures in heaven, treasures that will last forever and forever and forever. Think about it, we are only here on this earth for 80 years. We will be in heaven for ever and ever and ever with no end. I want those treasures, I want the ones that will last forever.

There is a diffrence bettween wants and needs.
