Value the Valuable

“...but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distressed, in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in sleeplessness, in hunger, in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in genuine love, in the Word of Truth, in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness, for the right hand and the left, by glory and dishonour, by evil report and good report; regarded as deceivers and yet true; as unknown yet well-known, as dying yet behold, we live; as punishment yet not put to death, as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich,” from II Corinthians 6:1-10

“’Do not lay up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust destroy,, and where thieves break in and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.’” Matthew 6:19-21

Where is your treasure? With valuables or with the One who creates and establishes true treasure? Nothing you have is actually yours you realise...you will leave it all behind. So use it for His purposes when you can, just listen to His wisdom and you will know.

Know His Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
