Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. – Matthew 6:20
Today’s Bible verse got me thinking about Christmas time. How much of
our energy is spent buying or getting the “right” gift? Why do we try
so hard to get something that will be outdated or that you’ll get bored
of before too long. So much of our energy at Christmas time is spent in
the pursuit of things that don’t last.
This verse tells us to not store up treasures on earth, but to rather
store up treasures in heaven. So instead of just living for yourself
and what you can get, choose to do something different this Christmas.
If you have a friend who needs help offer it. If you see a need, meet
it. If you have extra money, give it to your church to help them reach
out to someone else in need. Mostly, just be open to let the light of
Jesus shine through open doors all around you.
