As a young boy I found work to be enjoyable and of course the money made some of my interest possible.I was always looking for work. Today I am blessed to still be able to enjoy working. And of course the money enables me to invest in some of my interest.
Instead of candy, toys, and fishing supplies. I now enjoy using my money for various ministries. Now I still buy fishing supplies but now I enjoy going fishing with the Lord. He said to be a fisher of men. What a blessing and privilege to work with the Lord. To be able to witness His miracles first hand.
Today I see many who are investing their monies for future needs. This is wise but what about out part in bringing others to Christ. How are we investing our time, money and talents? Always remember this is not our home. Christ is preparing a mansion just for you. Are you investing in this life? Or are you investing in eternal life?
It is easy to come up with excuses but that’s all they are, excuses. We all have opportunities to witness for Christ. We are all given talents to use for Him and with Him.
Christ says it well in this parable;
Mat 25:27  Then you should have invested my money with the bankers. When I returned, I would have received my money back with interest.
Mat 25:28  Take the talent from him and give it to the man who has the ten talents.
Mat 25:29  For to everyone who has something, more will be given, and he will have more than enough. But from the person who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Mat 25:30  Throw this useless servant into the outer darkness! In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’”
I pray we will all be in heaven one day soon.
Everything cost, for us it is to die to self. Remember Christ died for you, so you would have the ability to live with Him forever. Christ saw that you are worth His sacrifice.
Let go and let God lead, He will invest your talents wisely.
Blessings
