​Investing In People | Intimacy With Christ | Richard Wafford

Matthew 6:19–20, “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.”

People invest all the time to gain more money, only to die suddenly and leave it all to someone else. The saying is true: you cannot take it with you. Every cent, every dollar, and every precious thing you hold dearest is left behind.

The only true investment for the Christian is to invest in what will go to Heaven. When you invest in people's lives, you will enjoy your treasure in eternal bliss. Imagine being in Heaven; your focus will no longer be on the things of the earth, no longer longing for material things but for things eternal. Imagine how disappointed you will be in yourself for not trying harder to store up treasures in Heaven by reaching more people and discipling more. Be persistent. Be that man or woman of God, a powerhouse for His kingdom. ~ Richard
