You don't have to live very long before you painfully realized that nothing lasts in this world. The designers bags, shoes, your clothes that you bought in dollar tags are now on hand-me-down box. Your house with amazing architectural design can be rotten and fall down. Even on relationship that you keep enduring will fail at end. Well, if you live in this world, all is uncertain, just temporary. Have you noticed that some people are on busybodies making themselves greater, richer, powerful but at end, when they die , they can't bring forth to their graveyard all their money and popularity but they remain nothing of value six feet below the ground? That's pretty sad.
I would be very hypocrite to tell that I don't want to get rich. Of course! Everyone wants it or need it badly depending on the persons state of living. But I always thought that this earth only offers temporary happiness, nothing lasts forever and change is inevitable. I've realized that God made all things great and small and only He has the authority to destroy anything He made.
Hey don't get me wrong. Its okay to have treasures here on earth but lay up your treasures in HEAVEN. What about riches if you don't have JESUS in your heart? Nonsense. Make investment on eternal life where enough is understatement. In heaven, we don't need to endure life there. But, we are going to enjoy the riches, abundance, overflowing mercy and love of God for us. We will not worry any longer cause nothing will be rotten, nothing will break, nor fall down or fail- all is EVERLASTING. How wonderful it is!
I always foresee HEAVEN as my real place and I really want to go there badly. And I think, the greatest treasure lies in there. :)
John 14:2
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Revelation 21:4
‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain,for the old order of things has passed away.”

things of this earth are temporary indeed, so we shouldn't worry about it too much. Thanks for the inspiration Ysay, and thanks for sharing this. Happy weekend. :)
