Uplifting Scripture of the week

Lay Up Treasures in Heaven

19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Your heart. A tender, precious, and complex thing. For when Christ has your heart, no one can remove you from Him. I think back to how much I have changed since Christ found me. The way I think, the way I live my life, the choices I make. And Every time I make those choices, I am storing up in Heaven. I believe my Father sees my heart, and my actions though not to receive a reward, but because I know it pleases my Father so. There is no outward sign, no stamp that I can put on my relationship, but rather the actions, that are FOR my Father,always, and not for myself.
For He is my heart, and my soul, forever.

"Father, let you always be my beginning and my end. May I always seek you before I seek my own, and may you always guide me through the mess I may have made in my life. For my heart seeks to please you, and only you, for now until forever. amen"
