HEAVENLY DEPOSIT

                                 " I am so old  that I may now die at any time" - Genesis 2:7
    outside one of the chapels during a wake, I saw paper maches of a house, car and yacht.
"what' s that for ?"  I asked my Chinese husband. He explained that the Chinese believe that by burning these, they were sending them ahead for the deceased. that way, they d have a huge house, cars and boats to use in the next life.

         I just laughed. " You can' t take anything out of this world with you when you die," I said . My Husband grinned, " if  he's Chinese, he'll find a way."
       My husband was right. There is a way to send earthly wealth in advance to heaven. But not in the way he was talking about.
        When we 're generous to others, when we give our tithes to the Lord, when we support minitries, we are using our money to build God's kingdom on earth.
         Friends, let's use our earthly wealth in such a way that when we reach our heavenly home, a huge mansion awaits us.

Reflection: Do you have eternal life insurance?

Jesus ,may I use the riches You've entrusted to me to help buid Your kingdom on this earth. Amen

A prayer about the FUTURE.

A prayer about the Future. When I wonder why God  doesn't show me more of the future. O LORD, Thank you that you reveal just enough of the future to give me hope. (You tell me that, since I am believer, my future in heaven will be more wonderful than I can imagine.) Thank you that  you reveal just enough of the future to encourage me to obey. (To receive your reward s in the future requires my obedience in the present.) Thank you that you reveal just enough of the future to increase my dependence on you. (Since you alone know everything about the future, I must rely on you to lead me there.) Moving forward with just a glimpse of what's ahead is the essence of what it means to live by faith.Perhaps knowing more details about the future would be too much for me to take in, so I will walk with you  step at a time, staying within the light of your presence and trusting where you lead. You guide me with your counsel,  leading me to a glorious destiny. Psalm 73:24 ...

A Prayer about Desirability. O loving God, How long to feel wanted, Desired.Pursued. Oh, but you remind me that I am. For your word tells me that my very existence is proof of your passionate, faithful love for me. You created me in your image to have a relationship with you. You wanted me. When I was dead in sin, you gave your Son to die for me, and you raised him to life to bring me back to you.And not only that, you have given me the Holy spirit to satisfy my longing soul.Thank you, God! You eauipped me with certain abilities to use for your special purposes. When I ignore how you made me, I miss out on the very characteristics that make me a desirable person. O LORD, THANK YOU THAT YOU CARE DEEPLY FOR ME.All that is desirable about me comes from you. He loves us with unfailing love; the LOrd'S faithfulness endures forever.  Praise the LORD! Psalm 117:2  This Prayer came from the book I received to my father. 365 pocket prayer by Tyndale's exciting Web site at ww...

NEW LOOK, OLD THINKING.....

                 And put on the new self, created in God's way in righteousness and holiness  of truth.                                                                                                                 -Ephesian 4:24       I weighed my heaviest at 235 lbs. That's why I decided  to get back in shape. I exercised and ate healthy every day. After three months. I dropped to 95 lbs. my medium clothes since my old ones  were to baggy already. But I didn't let go of my extra -large clothes, just in case I need them again. Guess what? After six months, I gained back all the weight I lost.         Why did...
