A Life of God-Worship
19-21 “Don’t hoard treasure down here where it gets eaten by moths and
corroded by rust or—worse!—stolen by burglars. Stockpile treasure in heaven,
where it’s safe from moth and rust and burglars. It’s obvious, isn’t it? The
place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up
being.
Matthew
6:19-21 International Children's Bible
God Is More Important Than Money
19 “Don’t store treasures for yourselves here on earth. Moths and
rust will destroy treasures here on earth. And thieves can break into your
house and steal the things you have. 20 So store your treasure in heaven. The treasures in
heaven cannot be destroyed by moths or rust. And thieves cannot break in and
steal that treasure. 21 Your heart will be where your treasure is.

Thinking
Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow
What truth in today’s verse. We cannot take any of it with us. I have seen much in this lifetime and
watching so many pour out all they are to collect things that in the end, thieves
will come to steal and once your gone others are left to go through, clean up,
sell, donate, or toss out. I have seen people’s
entire lives tossed out in a driveway or to a curb. And believe me like cockroaches in a bad
neighborhood lacking purity and cleansing.
People will come from all over that you have never seen no matter how
long you live somewhere just to pick through all that was once called someone’s
life.
Happy New Year all!
Yes, in grand fashion right to the
point. We are blessed people. Able to read, write, speak, and have
relationships. Live with roofs over our
head, food in our bellies and in most cases more than we ever deserve.
If you have been allowed to get back up; no
matter what it is, you need to face.
You truly are blessed, and God wants a relationship with you. No
matter what plans we have that fall through or get totally decimated by others
or even wrong choices of our own. God
is not done with you, and you are truly blessed.
Not for anything more or less than just YOU!
Life plans we make are great. Trust me I am an IT Project Manager and even
in my personal life not always has my plans come to be or outdone what Christ
had in mind. Does it hurt like crazy
when things fall through, people get hurt or even taken out of your life and things
at times become so much harder and you don’t know how you will get
through. Absolutely.
But don’t give up. In fact, get back up and ask Jesus to come
into your life and reveal what he wants to reflect through you.
I cannot explain it, nor do I deserve any of
what he has blessed me for. But He has
and I can never be grateful enough.
That just means my human side will still
break down and be shattered into billions of pieces on any given day. And God willing he will continue to get me
back up.
Shattered over lost love, lost blood,
watching suffering or even just making choices that make me work harder and
forget about being smarter. Even when
that little liar gets in my head and doubt paralyzes me and anything I am doing
or question the years of why I do what I do or who I do it for.
I am not exempt. None of us are. Does not matter what status you walk around
thinking you have. Does not matter what
collection in your own home or in many buildings across the universe you are
allowed. You will never be better or
worse or granted permissions to qualify in the perfection of only what God can.
The higher up you are the further you fall
and harder the land impact will be.
The least of these don’t need scorn, judgment, or scolding, they need
resolution and direction. If you are
in a good place your job is to protect your spirit and being, you have been
blessed and plant seeds of hope and help for those in need.
Instead of labeling people and fighting with
them. Shine brighter through moral
value you know that moral compass we all should possess.
Don’t be a doormat by any means no matter if
it is your own blood or a perfect stranger.
But stop spawning darkness into this world.
Every single one of us are going through
something. We are all riding the wave
and either coming to the other side or just going through.
Life is too short to be bitter, and
hate! Find whatever it takes to fill up
your spirit and grow your light brighter.
And you cannot share that light if you are running on empty or filling
your mind, your heart or spirit with anything negative.
People, places, or things. Know what you are consuming and find the
why; making your next choices really matter.
It can be so easy to just quit when you are
let down or you let others down and you cannot get past it. Just give it to God 24/7. Turn your shattered pieces into a beautiful
journey filled kaleidoscope.
Love people for who they are and honor them
respectfully. Love their craft and loudly
acknowledge the blessings they give you through their talent and skill they
give up for you to appreciate. Learn
how to be you and share your own selflessly.
We are all one and none of us are getting out
of here alive. Our souls will spin in
the heavens or with the eternal demons.
But while we are here and now.
Make it count. Be that flicker of
hope and fill your being with the creator and why you were created.
Been a few days and oh this mind maze needs
so much quiet. As the broken pieces of
others are landing all around and I fight thinking I can fix or be what someone
else needs to be. Only to repeatedly
conversing with Jesus knowing it’s not my job.
But never does the desires missed in human life filled spiritually ever
stop the tears from flowing as life just happens.
For my family
For my friends
For blood and bone in this legacy
For the blood of Christ alone.
I will never fully understand but I am at
peace and beyond blessed no matter what riddle this mind pours out.
The wars have already been one even when the
battle rages on. Know who carries you.
I Lord am just a spec in the wind. Jesus for me, for my family, for all my
connections. Direct our steps, fill our
spirit with your will. Carry us when I /We
can no longer get back up. Heal, comfort,
and close all that needs to be removed from our being to allow more of
you. Protect our choices and reactions
to them Jesus. Shine bright through
your chosen; no matter what that looks like.
Most importantly except our thanks for all
the spoken moments and even those that we speak and its just not enough. For only you Father know all things and
every why. Be with our babies, be with
the elderly. Be with the lost and lonely.
In your mighty, precious name above all
names. Amen
