“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV)
Deep within our inner being, the human spirit groans to rid itself of this mortal flesh and enter into the very presence of God to enjoy Him forever. That one holy passion -- placed within us by God Himself -- cries out from the depths of our being for eternity.
Unfortunately,
despite this God-given longing for Heaven, we have become too attached to this
world. Instead of laying up treasure in Heaven, we treasure the riches of this
earth. Resisting the inner voice of conscience, we tell ourselves, “Heaven can
wait.”
But Heaven can’t wait! No way!
We must live for eternity today!
