How fitting!

Jesus said, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal. But store 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 your heart will also be." Matthew 6:19-21.

These verses are listed today on my blog in the daily verse. How fitting! For several months now all we've heard is how bad the economy is and how doomy and gloomy everything is. Election was this week and while some think the earth will now come to an end since Obama will be president and others think he is the greatest thing since sliced bread and is just what the this country needs...either way, what we have here is not what we should be concerned the most about. The condition of our heart--our personal relationship with Jesus is the main thing to be concerned with. Whether time goes on for another 2000 years or whether Jesus returns tonight, we need to be ready. All of our possessions here on earth are just that--possessions, which can be taken away at any moment for any number of reasons, just as Jesus spoke about.

I know that we all are concerned about the economy while we are still here on planet earth and that's fine, but do not be consumed with it. Consume yourself rather, with Jesus. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life; no man comes to the Father but thru Me." Do you know Jesus? If you don't know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I challenge you to contact me and I would love to share this with you. Contact someone and don't wait. Salvation is free and it is the perfect treasure! I want to see you in Heaven when the time comes for us to be there. I love you--whether I know you or not, I love you. More importantly, God loves you too. "God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever (that's you and me) believes in Him, should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16. "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23, "For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23

Unmistakable, undoubtable truth that God loves us and that Jesus has paid the price for our sins. He was perfect and had no sin, yet He died for ours so that we could be saved. That's Amazing Grace!
