Let Your Light Shine!

Happy To Seek TREASURES IN HEAVEN Thursday! Good morning  promise of God!

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21

A story in the Bible shows how one man's behaviour revealed a void in his heart. Gehazi had long been a reliable servant of the great prophet Elisha. But when Elisha declined the lavish gifts of a military commander whom God had healed of leprosy, Gehazi concocted a story to get some of the loot. When Gehazi returned home, he lied to the prophet. But Elisha knew. He asked him, "Was not my spirit with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you?." In the end Gehazi got what he wanted, but lost what was important.

Jesus taught us not to pursue this world's treasures and to instead "store up.....treasures in heaven."

Beware of any shortcuts to your heart's desires. Following Jesus is the way to fill the emptiness with something real.

DEAR GOD, I GIVE MY DESIRES OVER TO YOU. PLEASE HELP ME CRAVE THE TREASURES THAT YOU VALUE. AMEN
