Give It Up ^

Sometimes it's hard to let go. No, I'm not talking about a person I'm talking about things we value. Like when your saving up for something and you know God wants you to give it up to Him.

It's hard 'cause here, on earth, it makes perfect sense to go through and buy the thing your saving up for, or maybe your not saving anything, your just trying to pay your bills, mortgage, and/or loan.

But when you think of an everlasting prize waiting for you in heaven, instead of a short-lasting thing on earth It's a no brainer.

"Hmmm...should I buy the fruit that goes bad tomorrow or the fruit that never goes bad? Hmmm..."-It's a no brainer. So is deciding to give it up to God. You're treasure there is soooooooooo much more important than your short-lasting treasure here.


Do not store up for yourselves treasure on earth, where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasure in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 6:19-21

Give it up. The only reason we are here is for our savior Jesus Christ, to bring glory to Him. It's a no-brainer yet it's soooooo hard. That, my friend, is where faith comes in.

"He is no fool, who gives up what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose."-Jim Elliot
To God alone be the Glory.
