The
other day someone asked me if I had any pictures, or a trophy of when I
competed in natural body building. Well I went to look and couldn’t
find my trophy or my video that they made of the whole competition show.
But under my bed, where I keep all my tupperware tubs filled with
pictures and albums, I found one picture, and I’ll tell you, there was a
lot of dust on that container. I worked so hard to win that competition,
and I have nothing to show for it but one picture.
It
made me think, what is really lasting? Nothing on this side of heaven.
“This life we lead will pass away, along with every other earthly
thing,”
Jesus is calling us to change our minds from things that are temporary, to eternal. Heavenly values instead of earthly values. "...store up for yourself treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do
not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.” (Matthew 6:20).
I
could NEVER lose what God has given me. “I can’t lose His love to
sickness, I can’t lose it to divorce, there’s no concept of abandonment,
I am safe within His arms.” It is a marriage of our 2 hearts. There is
no, 'till death do us part. He is eternal, and I am eternally His.
“In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an
inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade.” (1 Peter 1:3-4). That’s what I call a
valuable treasure!
So if you feel
like you never have enough, you never knew love, this life just feels
like it is passing away with no purpose... Jesus would like to meet with
you.
If you have put your faith
hope and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior and the forgiver of your sins,
you will inherit eternity, and being with Christ is our GREAT reward.
Grace and peace to you
Kim
